It's very category dependent. On categories where you can earn a significant number of PB days, you probably won't be able to drop a trip or even a reserve day. The worst thing you can have happen is turn them into supplemental vacation which is exactly happened with all of mine. While dropping a trip and GSing on top would be ideal it's not always possible.
