The best route is to bid a regular line in Jan, Feb, or Mar. Then PD/APD the trip that has the highest hours on the first day. Next, call crew scheduling and tell them you want to use your last PB day to cover the first day. Then white slip the trip (or another trip) back.
On reserve you can PD a day and cover it with a PB day but it won’t change your pay for the month because it’s use just gets you back to reserve guarantee.
