The day I'm trying to drop is the last day of the month of October. Thanks for the help.
If there is excess reserve coverage, just use a "personal drop."
You get one Authorized Personal Drop every year... it allows you to drop a trip or up to four days of reserve coverage as long as reserves available are >25% of reserves required (but can be denied over holidays). Basically much more latitude for you to drop days.
Bottom line, if reserves available are more than reserves required, use a Personal Drop (which are unlimited as long as reserve coverage is positive) and save your APD for next time.
