No you cannot pick up trips. All you can do is yellow to ALV+15 or max pickup (the same number btw) After that you cannot pick anything up but an IA or a GS. You still are a reserve pilot, and reserve pilots cannot pick up trips out of the Open Time Pot or the Swap Board.
After ALV you will not be shown on the reserve list unless you have a YS in by reducing your RAW 15 pts.
I time out all of the time, and after I you get within two hrs of ALV you are done without a YS in. I will fly as close as I can to ALV+15 and then enjoy a week vacation at the end of each month. It works well, and hope it continues.
