If you had an out of base ws or gs request in for NYC you would have gotten the trip.
Wilbur is correct. Its a trip from another base.
(Except green slips aren't in the mix yet at that point.)
When you see a trip go thru open time with the "reserves only" comment it means they got to step 8 of the coverage sequence in section 23N.
If they can't find a reserve then the "reserves only" comment gets removed and that's when the trip goes green. (step 18)
