The transaction you describe will indeed reduce your published max pick up, however the pilot swap/ pick-up transactions are exempt from the max pick up limitations. So reality is that a pilot swap board line value increase will almost guarantee you will be locked it of the w/s and swap with pot game for the rest of the month. Who cares? You're still good fir G/S action, should a later opportunity emerge. Let the FAR limits be your guide. The rules auditor is fully functional for contemplated pilot to pilot actions.
