"Insufficient reserve coverage for a normal PD over the days of a rotation or reserve on-call days you are trying to drop will keep you from being awarded a Payback Day drop request. To circumvent this, you may use your Authorized Personal Drop (APD) or one of your Individual Vacation Day (IVD) events to drop rotation(s) or on-call day(s)."

IVD and APD + payback days are gold. It’s like adding 3 more weeks of vacation per year. Just pick a high time 5+ day trip and wala.
