The contract says the Pilot to Pilot Swap Board can't be used if the transaction would create or be within one hour of creating an FAR or PWA conflict. (23.F.7.b)

How does the company (and ALPA!!) ignore that language?
How is it not a violation?

The max pick-up rule has a long history on this property. It has always been accepted and explained by saying "the contract protects us from the company AND FROM OURSELVES."

I think that principle was too casually abandoned by ALPA when the "Swap Board" was created and trip parking somehow got endorsed as a way to get around the contractual pick up limit.
