But doesn't reserve suck anyway? I've heard that for eons. In any case this app is just a tool to let guys improve their lot in life. If I have a crappy trip next week, and this app "pings" me to let me know that a much better trip over the same days just popped into open time, rest assured I am going to put in a swap request. I might not get it, but nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I don't think anyone anywhere thinks "gee, even though I have crappy trips on my schedule, I should just mournfully fly them as scheduled, and make no attempts to improve my trips, all so we can 'need more reserves'" (?)
