It sounds like you talked to scheduling about it, but the other way I didn't see discussed is Personal Drop (P/D) via PCS. That's the only way to get rid of/drop a Reserve day, but the "4-99-4" rules already discussed don't apply to a P/D. For example, you can drop the middle day of a 3-day period, and create two single days of Reserve. BUT, There has to be excess reserve on the day in question - Look in Open Time in iCrew for "Pilot Reserve Levels". If there is not a surplus in blue, you can't P/D the day (APD is different). Also, you will lose approx 1/17th of your month's pay...
I'm still fairly new, but I'm not sure if this is correct. You can P/D reserve days as long as the coverage allows it and lose that day of pay. But I'm not sure you can violate the reserve rules when you do it. So let's say you have a 3-99-4 for example. If you had a 5 day block of reserve I'm not sure you can drop the middle day of it because it would violate the 3 day rule. I'm pretty sure I've been denied a drop even though there was plenty of coverage for this reason.
If somebody knows more, please let me know but I think I've been blocked for this reason.
