They are using Silver Slips in the same manner as preposting rest. Once it starts to soak, no one can even swap into it, even if you want to give up a trip with a late report that could easily be covered by a reserve and you want a trip with an early report. They are cutting their nose off to spite their faces. They haven't figured out that pilots will happily wait until they start carving up trips to make them more palatable and then give out all kinds of premium to cover them as multiple pieces of the same pie.
