Our local ASA assignor is of a similar mindset, though I believe it has more to do with HOW the HS scheduling is handled. Since our assignor has more time on his hands (retired) than others, he can spend a little more time on the phone trying to find someone to fill in. He's been a very gracious and patient assignor and mentor, and I consider myself very lucky to work for him.
Which is why I work ONLY for him. And also why in over 10 years of calling for him, I've only canceled on him 4 times (3 of those times were due to serious illness or significant injury). Not a bad track record when I usually call for him 4-6 nights per week from March until November.
