From what I see, SkedPlus+ doesn't support anything related to reserve swapping. The PPM says it's allowed, but doesn't discuss logistics.

Would I already need to have coordinated myself with another pilot who is willing to swap, or does CS keep some kind of running list of reserve swap requests (seems unlikely)?

I was thinking I could call also CS to ask if I could cover a day where their reserve coverage is lower in order to get the days off I'd like?

Thanks guys.
