You can use the White Slip function to this, as the replies correctly stated. But that wasn't the exact question. You can NOT do this via the Swapboard.

Of course there's a pretty easy solution here. If you see that a pilot has a Swap Board Pickup trip posted, check and see if that same trip is in open time as a Qualified Personal Drop. It should be if the pilot is using all the tools at his disposal. However often times you will see a swapboard pickup, but not a Q trip in open time. If that were the case I would contact the swapboard pilot and suggest he put in a personal drop request so that it falls into open time as a Q trip. Then you COULD white slip that trip to get the results you are hoping for.
