I couldn't think of another way to get the exposure. The official way to do it would be post a note on the ALPA board asking about interest, but I don't think many people actually frequent the ALPA boards anymore.
This would be easy to program in and add into CCS. Just have a base trade tab where all the information is there and transparent and everyone can see the available base trades electronically. Hard to believe its 2015 and we are still filling in pre-printed paper slips and posting them on a cork bulletin board to do something like a base trade.
Or actually maybe its not hard to believe we are doing it that way.
