There is no buddy-buddy trading going on that couldn’t be swooped on by someone with better seniority. There is no scenario in which a senior pilot who put in for a base trade wouldn’t get it over a junior pilot, except some oddball Guam scenarios covered in the UPA.
You keep justifying it with the argument that someone can steal the trade, but its not about that. Again someone may get into a base they couldn't hold otherwise. If you couldn't hold it on a bid you shouldn't be there, at least that's my opinion and the opinion of the NC also apparently.
