I should also add that I think an out of base swapboard where you can list a trip as a pick up only could potentially effect future Adavance Entitlement bids. I see this idea as effectively allowing the company to use any base that has excess reserves to cover the system. When you are going to tile a bathroom floor you have to make sure it's level so you use a slurry and level it out. If the pilot group allows this idea to float, trips will be moved from one base to another and end up at a base that has adequate reserve coverage. This could allow the company to not offer up positions on an AE because, what the heck, the trips will eventually end up in a base that has adequate coverage anyway.
