The definition of "holding" is what your seniority can hold. Swapping stuff on sked- has nothing to do with seniority.
I agree, being savvy with PBS and swapping/dropping will enable you to sweeten the schedule quite nicely.
Understanding PBS can help too, see above. I got 15 days off and 85 credit this month without dropping or swapping. Am I senior? No. Do I expect this every month? No. But it is possible as long as you understand PBS and know how to bid.
