So let's say that worked.
Now remember to move x days, you need reserve coverage and 3 days in advance. So, you've got day 1 on an x day and you should have time to get x days moved under days 3 thru whatever. Which, if successful, will give you payback days at the end of your trip.
You can only move an X day to the first day of a trip, if you have an X day within the trip that doesn't have a duty period as part of that trip.
I probably could say that better. Here's an example: You're on RES FRI, you have X days SAT and SUN. THURS you pick up a 3 day GS that reports on FRI. The trip has a 30hr layo on SAT, and thus no duty period. You will not get pay above guarantee for FRI in this scenario, so you don't get the full trip guarantee as GS pay. If you ask scheduling when they call you for this trip to move your X day on SAT to FRI, they will do that, thus giving you full GS credit for the trip. This does not require the normal rule of 3 days advance notice and coverage being required.
In a nutshell, the X day you want to move to day 1, has to be within the footprint of the trip, and has to be free of duty.
