Could that be processed on the same transaction? Would icrew deny the PS since the WS spill over trip is not currently on my schedule? Worst case I guess I would have to wait until the subsequent PCS run to do the PS? I figured since PWs are processed first, it could pick up the trip then do a PS right after....

RSVs are showing black for all days involved and it would be a 2 day for a 2 day...
I assume you mean blue (blue is positive; black is even or negative)?

As Omar says, you can't do it on the same run for the simple reason that you can't put in the SWP request to drop something not already on your schedule.

A better option might be to use the same plan, but with a 1-day (ideally within the footprint of the 2-day you want)--of course, that depends on what's available in Open Time. Also, don't forget to check the Swap Board, the pickup limit doesn't apply there, either.

An even better question is, why on earth do you want to work so much??

Agreed!
