First of all, I'm against OOBS for reasons already stated. This is a productivity concession to the company. The only way you will get one is if the coverage is there or it's advantageous to the company. Thinking of the situation you propose, I'm not sure it's very likely a guy would be able to swap a trip that wasn't over the same days because of capped reserve days. I know it's possible if the days one wants to swap into are worse but how likely is that?
OOBS will redistribute time among bases and and make them more balanced month to month. Goodbye greenslips....
