Agreed. It would have to be in the wording. "if there are more reserves than required plus amount needed to cover currently open trips on any given day as per the agreed upon formula (which I would hope ALPA would negotiate to make required reserves is a normal number), then there shall be no restrictions on trading/dropping..." etc... or whatever wording or process. It's not really going to happen, so it's all really a moot point.
