Looking at the reserves available list, obviously it trends downwards as time goes by and people actually get assignments. Is there a cutoff as to when you can move the off day to pickup a reserve day? I guess by that I mean can I expect for my request to move my X day to a later date to be successfully processed as people starting getting assigned stuff for the earlier date?
The OE block is exactly your issue. Your schedule is locked until IOE is complete and the “OK” is placed on your schedule.
The 2200 PCS run 3 full days prior is your last chance to alter a day. So if you are trying to move an X day onto or from a Friday, 2200 Monday is your last shot. You can drop a reserve day via PD, IVD, APD, etc up till 0700 the day prior assuming you don’t already have an assignment by that point.
