- there can’t be any “orphan” reserve days (a single reserve day with a day off on either side)
- I’ve found the best way to start the conversation is something like “I’d like to personal drop without pay some reserve days, is day x over coverage?, day y?” and so on. They used to be confused but the last two times i’ve done it they’ve jumped right in and said which days do you want. Last time they went so far as to move some days around in order to make dropping a day doable.

Dropped four days just last December. It shows up on the master schedule as “PRDP” (personal drop). I tried to post a screenshot but couldn’t get past the attachments parameters.
