@brucem1213 Yes, interesting indeed. 
I’ve encountered this as well in my direct experience.
.
Also interesting . . . this morning received a call from a Signing Service [SS] with the voice of one of the ‘regular’ Schedulers who previously called, but her voice this time wasn’t warm & friendly like normal 
- it was quite ‘mechanical’ in its nature. 
A few seconds into the call, mentally confirmed it was an Artificial Intelligence [AI] Scheduler 
. . . I’m certain you can imagine the difficulties encountered when endeavoring to ‘negotiate’ a fee with AI . . .
Has anyone else encountered this scheduling ‘technique’ yet?
