My carrier does this also. Lineholder can pick up reserve days from open time for premium if the company has them available. Can also pick up reserve days from other pilots trying to drop them, but no premium. Get paid greater of min or flown. Can be lucrative for picking up a single reserve day that has small chance of being used, and also pretty beneficial to reserve folks trying to get rid of a day for schedule improvement or to limit their own usability. I think southwest is also able to do trading of trips and reserve between lineholders and reserve pilots, but not sure if line holders there can do straight pickups of reserve.
