Who says it has to be Pilot specific? Why would your Captain A go before a more senior Pilot wanting the same swap? Every guy interested in the swaps put in his request. The WOPR than runs the complete list system wide and awards swap in straight seniority order.
For an air-frame like the 737 that is represented at every single Pilot base this has potential. Yes there are definitely details to work out, but I am pretty sure that it could be worked out if there was a desire to do so.
