I will never understand the line of thinking that would lead to someone advocating for that.

I don't mind the swap board, I just think it should limited to alv+15 like the regular WS limit.

id trade a hard limit of ALV +15 for all transactions for OOB swap board and (if I’m feeling really lucky) OOBWS being processed earlier

The FAs oob swap system honors seniority. Trips must go to in base peeps until a day prior. After that it’s a free for all for the oob people.

but why should It be that way? If you don’t want to fly your trip (let’s say you are a DTW320B) and I do (let’s say I’m an ATL320B) why should we both have to wait in suspense til a day prior to see if we actually get to fly/not fly that trip? Why can’t we just acknowledge that it’s a good deal for all involved and let it process when the request is made? I’m not trying to be a d*ck, I just don’t understand where the “protectiveness” comes from when it comes to flying a trip not in your base, especially with how long it can take to change bases with our AE system.

I will never understand the thinking that we are 7 different airlines just because we have 7 bases.

I just don’t get the “only in base” philosophy.

I like the idea of jetway trades as well as possibly being able to split up trips.

I would love the option to drop the first or last turn on a trip. Or post it to a pick up board to make a horrendous 4 or 5 day trip commutable, or at least a little more palatable.

We had a that at ASA/ExpressJet. You could post a portion of your trip on the pick up/swap board. It was a great way to drop some legs from your trip and a great way for someone to pickup an easy daytrip.

every regional had/has this. Long overdue for us.
