So two weeks in a row I've been assigned a RES trip 2 days out. I called CS and they said it's because of a MED destination in the rotation. They have to give me 2 days notice so I can take the anti-malaria medicine. Both times I already had a YS in because I was first inline for a trip and wanted to have some say in which trip I get. 2 days out is still too early to be assigned a YS so the YS means nothing.
Most of the time I don't get the YSs I ask for because someone else snags the trips first. Now there's another way to not get a YS!
Whiny rant over.
Hopefully this info helps someone out who is wondering why they got a RES trip 2 days out.

If they assign the MED trips 2-days out, they are following the contract. The trip has to be flown by somebody. Sounds like you unfortunately were lowest RAW twice.

Sorry you got the non-preferred trip, but I would rather have more notice to start the malarone (or scramble to get a prescription in time).

It's more along the lines of, I've been used almost every day I'm available for the last 4 mos and YS were a way to get back a small bit of control over my schedule and now I don't even have that (just luck of the draw on RAW scores I know) But, glad to have a job so I shouldn't complain.

All true. I had the lowest RAW score both times and appreciate the MED contract provision's worth. It's just a turn in a MED so I'm not as concerned as if I was doing a 48 hr layover, but again it's good to have.

BTW, never stop complaining. It’s how we know you’re a real pilot. Allow me to gripe: I can’t believe I had to buy shampoo this fall. My kids never knew shampoo outside of hotel bottles! You know it’s bad when you’re out of Hilton/Hyatt/Marriott and dipping into the Wyndham.
Thanks corona.

A PAP turn is different than a 48hr in LOS. I can appreciate where you’re coming from in regards to the MED zone and assignment.

Thanks for the info, I believe I was the only pilot in the days of avail grouping.
