It's not that you want only one day off (because that is allowed) but it sounds like you are trying to create a new "Day off block" in the March bid period. You could move a whole block of days from another part of your schedule (say you have Mar 5-6 off) - you can move Mar 5-6 to Mar 2-3. That would work (depending on your max days on for your aircraft).
Or, if you had a single day off elsewhere in Mar (which would be a day off block) you could move that to Mar 2.
But, trying to move 1 day from a group to Mar 2 would make a new block of days off, which isn't allowed.
The scheduling ALPA committee puts out "Moving X Days" which describes all that goes on.
