That's not the issue.
You can voluntarily clean all you want. Just like you can voluntarily check FLICA. Or voluntarily pick up flying on your days off.
What no air carrier can do is force you to engage in duty on behalf of the air carrier during a rest period. That's duty, not rest.
The previous DRO system was duty, where you didn't know your schedule on a day off and had to log into a company computer system in order to see what you were doing on day 1 of reserve.
Not sure how that slipped past everyone for years.
