What would be new is offering the unused BS slots to WGA passengers for, say, double the difference between BS and Anytime fare, perhaps minus any EBCI fee already paid.

This sounds very much like the Latecomer Check-in we discussed here in early 2010: It's a second chance for people who for whatever reason ended up with a C boarding pass.
