The Open Time Capture (Section 8.D.5.) 

At approximately 1500 HDT, the list of assignments in open time for the following day will be captured and considered frozen. Once captured, these trips will no longer appear in open time, and will no longer be available for pick-up or trades. These open pairings will be used during the Reserve Preferencing assignment process. 

Trips that become open after the capture will continue to be available for Flight Attendants to pick-up or trade and will not be assigned by the Reserve Preferencing system. Open pairings that are not picked up by the conclusion of the preferencing assignment process will be assigned manually during the post-preferencing clean-up process prior to 1930 HDT.
