Mike,
Swaps are not subject to the ALV + 15 limit. Neither is an Icrew swap board pickup. Both of these will affect your ability to WS. Again, it is a white slip pickup limit. You can not be awarded a white slip that with put you greater than ALV + 15.
Example: ALV=80 hours. Your current projected credit is 80 hrs as well. There is a 21 hour 4 day in open time. You can't WS this trip. If it was on the ICREW swap board you CAN pick it up. You will now show 101 credit and a WS pickup limit of 0.
Essentially, if you are picking it up via a method other than a WS, there are no limits other than FAR and associated buffers.
