Thanks - Baja.
Yes, and yes, and btw, there are no caps on swaps, so the guys who have one and two day trips will be swapping for 3 and 4 day trips, and their 1+2 day trips will be w/s by others. The company will have no trouble covering what's left.
On the 'parking' thing, no, that's not parking. Parking is when you put one of your exiting trips onto your buddies line via the pilot to pilot swap board. You bring your line down in value, so you can then white slip something from the pot. After you do that, you get your old trip back from you buddy.
That has been fixed, in that your 'parked' trip cannot come directly back to you from your buddy. He has to drop it into open time, and you have to white slip it, if you want it back.
