You want it to also show up as available for swap on the pilot to pilot swap board which is technically a different thing. The easiest way to do this is via MiCrew, where you simply swipe right on the rotation where it is listed below the calendar view of your schedule. One of the options is “post trip”, which is short for “post trip to the pilot to pilot swap board”, and what follows is pretty intuitive. You can post it for someone just to take from you (a drop), or a swap (you’ll trade it for something, which you can define), or a combination of both.
