Not as easily as you describe. You can't move the days with the company. There are ways to change up your schedule - trade with other pilots, give away your trips/part of trips to other pilots (someone has to actively take it), and then trading with the company (occurs on/after the 25th of the month prior -- non-reserve line holders only) where it is possible you could trade for the days you want - but of course, that depends on trips available and most importantly, coverage on each day.
As a reserve line holder you are pretty much stuck with the line you bid, unless you are doing military duty or training.
