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.
Thanks for your help. Yours too ACL. I wasn't looking at it as an extra block of days off originally, but March 1 doesn't count due to previous bid period. I understand it now. It still sucks though.
