Unlike union carriers, I've never heard of any pressure not to pick up open time, even during contract "negotiations".
But it would be more helpful to other pilots if you pick up pilot-posted trips vice company open time. The company trips may be at premium pay, but sometimes pilots will offer a cash incentive to pick up trips they really want to drop.

It's normally out right around this time of the month. It came out early a couple times lately, but usually closes around the end of the month.

Not necessarily a bad thing either way if there are protections to further scope erosion. But the key question is what did the pilot group get in return for this policy change?

A very small select group of pilots (including at least 2 SAPA reps) who are close to retirement will still get to fly airliners as a hobby in retirement. That's what the pilot group gets.
