Any shady "trip parking" takes place after the bid is awarded, and thus, should not affect manning. Or am I missing something?

With trip parking, you can WS up to max pick-up THEN pick up something back from your "friend" from the swap board, up to FAR's.
If you pay close attention to reserve coverage in certain categories, it's pretty obvious that regular lineholders are doing the overwhelming majority of the uncovered flying. For flight-whaures, this is great news. From a staffing perspective, it's a disaster. Makes me sick.
Congrats on posting something without using the usual acronyms, btw.
