Sorry Sailing, it was (still may be) going on "in base" with the swap board, with pilots picking up trips soley to give that trip to a junior friend. Most people probably didn't envision trip parking either when the swap board was created, so you have to think about these things ahead of time.....assuming you want to keep the process we have and not turn it into the Wild West for picking up trips.
I can ASSURE you that without restrictions, reps will be getting phone calls a week after this is implemented, with pilots who wanted to ws
