You don't PD a trip and then swap because you have nothing to swap.
No, again. Pilot A wants to swap a Tuesday/ Wednesday trip for a Q trip on Thursday/Friday. The only thing that matters is the reserve coverage for Tuesday/Wednesday. If Tuesday/Wednesday are both positive, it doesn't matter what reserve coverage is for Thursday/Friday. The swap will go through. I've done it. My example of the drop was only to illustrate why the swap would go through.
PWA 23 I. 14: DBMS will convert a denied PD, IVD, or APD request to a qualified personal drop (QPD). A rotation within a QPD request will be available to be awarded via white slip or swap with the pot as if it were open time.
