I get the argument, that senior line holders should be able to move over in less time that four months. Is there a way to “trade” bases with another individual?
Say an R1 CA at TYS and an R1 CA at CLT want to swap places. Does this still get subjected to that whole system?

It used to be about a month to trade bases. But people abused it, and were jumping bases every month to get RLD's and cause a headache with paperwork. SIDA badges in certain bases, parking, positive space tickets, relocation days, and more. So, the company extended it out as a result.
We can't have nice things because people abuse it. We have lots of things that would be better if people stopped abusing it.
