However, a wrinkle is that the Super Bowl is one of the "APD Holidays"--they can deny a PD regardless of coverage. From what you describe, it probably won't work--because on those "holiday" periods, you have to get a day-by-day coverage that is worse (not the same) to make the swap. On non-holiday periods, there appears to be an exception (experience, I cannot point to a reference) for "same day" swaps; but not during the "holiday"--you would have to have a 3-day or greater trip to "cover" the one you have, even though only the single day is showing negative....
You could try: trading for that 1-day AND something that covers the other days (then drop the second trip you don't want). Trading for that 1-day AND something with a negative number somewhere (assumes you either want that 2nd trip or are willing to roll the dice that it will allow you to drop it down the road). Swap board?
Actually, the language in PWA 23 that deals with the holidays, i.e. super bowl in this case, only refers to APD's being denied if it falls on a holiday. The section above it that deals with PD's does not mention the holiday thing. PWA 23.I.10 vs PWA 23.I.9. I successfully did a PD for a 4 day that spanned super bowl sunday just a few days ago. But when I did it, the reserve coverage on SB Sunday was above the required #. I think his PD should work.
