Our initial bidding rules are pretty strict and won’t let you do that. I tried calling our futures desk recently to swap reserve days that would give me 1 day off and they said they couldn’t do it and I’d have to go through the CPO for approval. There is language in UPA23 to “test” compressed reserve, but I wouldn’t put money on it actually happening. A good schedule is always one sick call away though.
