I did this once and when checking ICrew, I had to acknowledge a schedule change. I got excited, thinking I got the better trip, but it was my original trip. At least I didn’t have to scramble to pick up something else.

But I've used this to good effect in a category where people quickly WS almost anything that drops into open time.

The only risk is you get your PD, someone else WS the trip you wanted, and someone senior to you has a blind WS in and picks up the trip you dropped, then you're stuck with nothing.

Its called cloud sourcing. Just post the relevant reference and move on. Unless you have a daily use with these clauses, or sit around memorizing contractual language (get a life) the internet is more timely and helpful than any other source.
Help others succeed. Save the sarc for your old man club.
more useless advice...eat your veggies, looking at you CB.

...or anyone senior also. The 'drops' occur first in the PCS run THEN any WS that captures your trip (whether generic or by number), senior or junior, will process
