It's legal but I would not call it ethical. Easy fix would be the senior original line holder on the trip stays home unless both guys dropped it.
There are some very ****ed off FO's over this issue!
Sailing:

Don't the 'victim' F/Os think to ask 'Why' the swap offer/request is being presented to them? That would tend to clear the issue, IMMHO.
