Whether they do that or not, I know that they have (or have had in the past) deals where they explicitly provide discounted tickets where you basically have "bottom priority" to get a seat on a flights, and you only get notified whether there's space for you with a limited number of hours notice. IIRC it's targeted at retirees, who have a flexible schedule and may favor inexpensive travel.
