This. I hardly EVER see LCR on the list right now, even if we're at or over the min reserves. Then again, almost all of us actually live in base in MCO, so LCR isn't THAT big of a deal. When I was in BOS on reserve, I could almost always count on my first day of reserve being LCR, even if it was just a 4 day stretch. After that, I'd probably be SCR. Since I was commuting, if it looked like I was going to get moved to SCR or I was on SCR anyways (last two days of the block), I'd try to bid one of the trips in open time. It worked pretty well since I only saw my crashpad about 5 times in two months. That was about a year ago, though. The 6 on/1 off is apparently coming back, but it sounds like you'll have to FLiCA swap into it rather than pref bid it.
