FDX ALPA Trip Swap site
FDX ALPA has set up a trip swap site. Trip Swaps
With the lack of open to trade with, it's a very easy tool to advertise something you'd like to trade or something you'd like to pick up.
I'm sure there are plenty of pilots who would like to trade- if they knew there was something "out there", but with limited open time (except DPs), few would drop betting on the come.
Easy to use, and requires no special software or subscription. Appears like not that many know it's available or how easy it is to use as there are just a couple trips posted to trade.

I think people have gotten discouraged with that site and don't even check it anymore. I used to post very decent stuff to swap and rarely even got contacted. I just gave up. I would really like it if people started using it, as I often have great trips to swap and ask for very little. I'm sick of contacting people personally too, as so many guys don't even read their emails.

26 trips currently posted.
In less than 5 months, well over 500 trips have been posted.
More importantly, over 300 initial responses have been sent through my server, and from feedback, probably just as many sent directly to the poster.

Yep, got a few of the those last night and today!
I've also started getting a weird pop up when using BidX when trying to logon to get open time. Have to try logging on a second time, then it works fine.
