Is there any talk of getting more authorized personal drops, or relaxing that restriction in the next contract? Or, does it somehow help with staffing?
Agreed. That's pretty silly. Defeats the purpose of swapping out of open time in the first place.
To do a bit of bulb changing, at fNWA, if the trip didn't operate over a holiday or the transition, and was a legal swap, it HAD to be approved, despite the reserve coverage.
By the way, can we get rid of the month to month transition restrictions now? With paper bidding, yea, there was a point because of the interface. But that witch is long dead with PBS.
With no reserve coverage, putting in a PCS "swap with the pot" request is pointless. You're better off rolling the dice, putting your trip on the swap board as a drop, then white slipping the trip you wanted.
