you are right on the money with this. I think everyone who scours another base's open time/swap board finds a "little gem" that they'd like to fly at least once.
However, opening up the other base's open time (as if you were in base) to the rest of the world would almost certainly show up as a blip on the beancounters screen as the airline needing fewer reserves in the category.
So it isn't gambling with your own seniority, Big Guns, its gambling with the seniority of the junior reserves in the category you want to cherry pick.
