Would be nice. At ExpressJet we had what was called an Agressive Pickup Window or APW. On your last X/no fly day you could go into open time and pick up trips, even if you had SC. The window was open in the morning for only an hour on a first come, first serve basis. As long as your duty day on the open time trip remained w/in your SC duty period you could have it. The trip remained available for a lineholder to cherry pick for up to 8 hours before show time.

It was a nice option to have, but I suppose it does zero good if there is nothing in open time!
