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'" (?)
That was the beauty of ezopenboard, it emailed you when a trip popped up so you could pick up, swap, etc and improve your schedule for the month. The guys who max out with white slips are going to do that regardless of whether or not there is an app/service pinging them its available trips.
