Please tell me nobody is advocating the position that picking up trips in open time as make-up is analagous to picking up a DP or in some way hurting any other pilot on the property. You're smoking your underwear if you tell me I shouldn't be able to pick up a trip in open time with a clear conscience.
You're correct, in that nobody is giving you a hard time about picking up trips from open time, regardless of the status you pick them up in, unless, of course they are disputed pairings. Your conscience should be clear. Relax and have a good weekend.
