T, you are spot on on this.

Basically if all category flying is governed by ALV across all bases, then the reserve required formula should also be across all bases.

It's not fair to have everybody flying their tail of, with no chance to swap. While the same category has 3x the reserves required and everybody just sitting around at another...

The solution is not in adjusting the swapping, but to adjusting either the reserves required or the ALV methodology to use the same metric.

Said another way:
ALV and reserves required formula across all bases
or
ALV and reserves required formula per base
