I thought once you dropped an OTP trip, it just went into makeup and you lost your OTP. Guess I was wrong.
I'm not sure how a scheduler can help someone earlier time stamp, unless they are putting it in from their end, and that seems like it would be easily traceable. I never understood the frozen thing. If the trip isn't available, why even put it into open time at all?
The one weird thing I've seen schedulers do two times, was hold a trip back that was supposed to go into sick time release. Then when I called then 20-25 minutes later, asking them where that trip was because it should have been available, they put me on hold, then a few minutes later said ,"Okay, it's in there now." Of course the entire hold time I was pushing the enter button every couple of seconds, and both times managed to get earlier time stamped by the same guy. Which was impossible, as one time he couldn't have used OTP as he was on sick leave, and would have to pick it up on sick makeup (less priority than regular makeup, or at least equal). That really ****ed me off.
