If they would reduce the amount of time from 72 hours to 24 hours prior to move X days then that tool becomes awesome. Had that ability at JetBlue and you could watch open time the day prior and move days to avoid trips that showed up. It was great for those who knew how to use it. 
We also had real time swap/drop which made moving X days a breeze....no waiting for a PCS run.
About the only thing you can do here is tag a day onto the end of a block or take one off the end of a block that is larger than 3 days. Helps on occassion, but not very often from what I've seen.

If I'm unlucky enough to get a 5 day trip during a 5 day reserve block the 1st thing I do is move an X day so I have a reserve day after the 5 day trip. Good way to score an extra day off as you almost always get left alone on that reserve day after the 5 day trip.

To help distract you from noticing that Delta1067 is spilling reserve trade secrets, here, a new movie trailer.
Should be up for the Oscars in 2014. For sure.

Looking at those tables it really does make you realize that ordering 188 airplanes, maybe 200 if you include the remaining MD90s, just really ain't enough to keep up.
Now back to Mumford & Sons on Pandora. I guess musical talent is making a come back despite what American Idol says.

Same thing here but I called. The scheduler and the supervisor were adamant that "the computer" required a 3-day guy on SC even though there were many 4-day+ guys available that had zero credit and zero SCs. I had a triple digit RAW (highest in base) and had done five SC...
This is a great system if we had actual seniority advancement...
Maybe a few years from now I can be the "senior" reserve FO ;-)

I hope I am wrong and Sailing will say I am but lets get feedback from the average reserve and line pilot in 24 months. It's one thing to hear a dozen reasons why you SHOULD be increasing your quality of life and quite another when you are actually living the new reality.

“These airlines compete directly with Delta and our joint venture partners on key international routes, so we concluded that it doesn’t make much sense to provide them with an interline agreement that supports their international service...
You missed an important part of the quote.

Probably jinxing this, but gotta ask: When you see a rotation you're scheduled for is now going to be an OE for another FO, what should you look for that tells you those days are available for you to white slip? Does the trip eventually disappear from your schedule when you get close enough to the date it's scheduled for?
