Open Time Allocations
That's the problem with a system where things aren't transparent or accountable: it is open to manipulation or at least the perception that manipulation is occurring.
Have you tried calling ops to see under which subclause of EBA8 Clause 33.6 this person got the trip? It's interesting to look at this clause anyway, for example does everyone know that a trip from normal closure of open time MUST be assigned to an available RLH in category (33.6.7) and then an available RLH out of category (33.6.8) before it can be assigned to a pay-protected flight attendant (33.6.9)?
If you don't question ops then, unless the FAAA is auditing each open time allocation, there is only the individual's integrity to make them stick to the rules.
Clause 33.11 says that nothing in the clause precludes the correction of an error by the company.
Errors can occur from time to time. If they have made an error in allocation they can correct it.
