"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)."

From Sched Alert 22-01

Recall that, if you wish to use PB Days to drop a rotation(s) on which there is insufficient reserve coverage and you do not wish to use your APD or an IVD, you may submit both a PB Day and a PD request for the same rotation(s). If another pilot subsequently is awarded the resulting Qualified Personal Drop (QPD) rotation, your PD request will be awarded. You can then use the SmartSheet on the Crew Resources/Scheduling page in DeltaNet to request that a PB Day(s) be placed over the dropped rotation(s).”
