That's fair to say. I philosophically am opposed to OOBS, because I think the flying in one base belongs to that base, not the pilot it's on loan to until they drop it or get sick. I am also philosophically opposed to people transferring flying without an open, transparent market for open time, within a base, and certainly between bases.

I do want pilots to be able to improve their schedule, and I see no reason we can't have a MUCH better SWP system, that doesn't prioritize WS, and lets everyone have equal access to opportunities to improve.

That being said, if we don't talk about unintended consequences a little bit now, we'll certainly be talking about them when we live under them. We're sure excellent at identified the ways we're getting screwed, after the fact. I'd like to be better at avoiding upfront.

My arguments against OOBS are not invalid just because they fit my bias.
