It's a gamble. Not something to bank on. I've heard of this before. And it only will work if you're sitting in base.
Again, as suspected it is one of those tactics that apply to perhaps 6-9% of the group if that. Not all of us sit around and monitor short term coverage.
Are you more referring to moving reserve on call days or swapping around trips? Its not clear.
I'm curious how PCS lets you do this as it is clearly stated drops are not permitted within xx% of coverage. Swaps, sometimes, yes. Those are again, more of a crap shoot.
Glad you have the time and can get lucky.
