I think in the scenario you describe, they will just use R-days. If they can't make lines out of what's left in open time, they'll just start creating additional blocks of R-days like they've always done in the past. But, I have no hard data or contractual language to back that up. It's just a semi-educated guess. When they say they are building the secondary lines in seniority order, I think that means exactly what it sounds like. They build #1 and when it's done they move on to #2. Time will tell.
Personally, I don't think we are necessarily seeing EVERY R-day they might plan to use when we look at open time during the view/add and secondary line process. In theory, every single block of R-days that's showing up in OT could get taken during the view/add.
So, at that point, there's no guarantee when they build all the secondary lines that there will be enough trips to go around. If they get to the last guy and they've only got a couple of 6 CH hub turns left, do you really think they're not going to make some more R-day blocks and put them in his secondary line?
