Uh, no.

The contract is very explicit. Beyond next-day open time will be covered automatically via PCS. Reserves are not even considered except for same or next-day open time.

Yes 117 is causing the company headaches, and yes it is beyond absurd that SD is trying to circumvent the contract via memo. But all that is related to reserve assignment rules, none of which are ever considered until the day prior at the earliest. There is no way the company could award a trip to a reserve two or three days out just to make scheduling's job easier.
