I thought I heard or read somewhere that the company has 48 hours once they pull a trip to schedule an OE or the trip returns to open time - is this true?

You have a point. It is a challenge to distill all the red ink into bullet points without either a) completely re-writing the language or b) leaving something out. The pro/con (actually subjective in this instance) bullet point directs you to the language because it's an entire page of red ink:

I believe you are referring to 23.M.4.b which covers a trip that is open in both seats (no A or B). The TA says they can pull that trip for OE, but they have to return it to Open Time if they haven't assigned an LCP within 2 days.
Here is the excerpt:
A rotation that is unassigned to any pilot and, in the opinion of the Company, is suitable for conducting OE may be removed from open time at any time after adjusted lines are made available for viewing in DBMS. Such rotation will be immediately returned to open time if no LCP has been assigned the rotation by 2359E on the second full business day following its removal from open time (e.g., a rotation removed at 1200E on Tuesday would be returned no later than 2359E on Thursday).
