FWIW, an “if needed” is supposed to show as a “Y” on trip coverage.

They can fix it up to two hours out, they just don’t want to. Stick with it if you really want the trip, or I guess you could just wait and get paid for the misaward later.

When this happens do you ask to speak with a scheduler or just deal with whomever answers the phone? Are the schedulers generally receptive to sorting through these type of issues? I imagine this must be a PITA if they are busy - not that thats our problem.
