This raises an interesting question, after the trips are pulled is the LCA allowed to drop or swap that trip? Seems very unfair to have a good trip withheld for OE then have the LCA trade it or swap it away. There is no mechanism to give that trip to the FO who rightfully should have been awarded it in the first place.
