Awesome tips, thank you! Where do you see the trips for the PCS swap with the pot? Is it just the trips in open time that it's looking at? I assume the advantage of putting a request in via swap with pot is you aren't restricted to ALV plus 15? Otherwise no advantage right if you're just looking to pickup a trip?

Yes limit doesn't apply.
Trading one trip(s) for another(s) if reserve limited is the only way you can since you can't drop without reserve coverage.
PSA for new guys: if your trying to drop a trip over reserve limited days make sure you also post it to the icrew swap board for the most success as a pilot can then pick it up over alv+15 limit where they wouldn't be able to as a white slip unless they had already reduced their schedules.

Swap with the pot also allows "wildcard swaps" This allows you to trade a trip you have for ANY trip that comes available. These are inputted as a * followed by the number of day trip you want. Example...to swap for any 4-day on the 15th you would input "*4 15may". Very useful if you need a specific day off, but don't want to use a drop or want to trade a shorter trip for a longer one. However, use these with caution as it will award ANY trip that comes open meeting the criteria even those you don't see in the middle of pcs runs.
Once again it is pretty easy once you look at the template and read through the help menu.

Just talked to them. They can use 23k but I have no recovery. Made them note that in my remarks as a backup.

I still think you should ask ALPA for a more in-depth explanation. 23k in the PWA is clear it's only for IROPS and this is no such situation or system event. If you do talk with them please post their answer.

I still don't know why they can use 23k. Do you lose the credit as well since you have no recovery obligation?
