What does that mean?
The days you want to drop do not have enough reserve pilots available to meet your drop request. (I think)
Look at the "Pilot Staffing Level"; if there aren't more "Available" pilots than there are "Required" on reserve, I'm pretty sure your request will be denied.
You can always try the "Swap Board" though. The sooner you put them up, the better. In any case, it's always best to try BOTH the swap board AND the leave board when trying to dump trips.
