Both sides of a swap are in the same staff category
Breaking it exchanges shifts between two staff categories whose hours and entitlements are not interchangeable.
What teams and membership rules protect
Most air traffic control units roster in teams, and team membership carries real constraints: people move together, some units share staff, and some people belong to a pool rather than a team. These rules keep those structures intact so that a generated roster is one the unit can actually operate, rather than one that is optimal on paper and unrecognisable on the floor.
