Fdx trip swap
Is there any other trip swap forum out there beside what's on alpa? I just looked at posting a trip I am hoping to swap - keep getting "insufficient reserves" on vips... Was trying to drop it to pick up smaller trips. Anyway, I looked at alpa site and last activity in my seat was last year. Is there another, more active forum out there? Thanks.

Also not very active depending on your seat.
Good luck!

Thanks.
Thanks guys... I sure do miss the old swap site that used to be out there! Good to know about the feeds with the alpa site. Maybe I'll try that next time. Surely other guys want to make scheduling improvements as well and are getting insufficient reserves...
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

What a load of crap!
The "old swap site" -- pilotswap.net -- is essentially the ALPA trip trade side. The same guy who ran pilotswap.net (Pete H., Safety Committee Chairman) migrated the site to the ALPA site when he began volunteering in the Communications Committee. The last time I checked the URL, it redirected to this website. But when I checked it just now, it redirected to a page that looks like this:

I was just offering an explanation of why the guy who did all the work to make pilotswap.net such a valuable resource, and then imported it to the ALPA site and improved it to make it even better for us to use, doesn't post here to explain it any more. He used to talk about pilotswap.net here on APC, just like the guys who support the bidding software and personal assistant software talk about their products here on APC. Every other post made under that UserName was about PilotSwap.net. Now he doesn't.

What if we get the company to provide a swap bulletin board integrated in to the new VIPS calendar and trip trade pages? That is where the social networking part of this needs to be, not on any third party site.
