I believe what you are referring to is Flex Flight which is flight planning to cover a larger geographical area rether than direct point to point. That is a far cry from just flying around looking for freight. Flex flight gives the company more flexibility to deliver if for some reason there is a delay at another airport. They can drop in pick up and continue to their original destination.
