They run drops first and then pickups. Coverage goes down as drops are granted and goes up as pickups are awarded. As someone mentioned it’s all automated.

I'm running into this problem right now. I'm trying to swap a 4 day (5-day? ends in a redeye) for another 5 day of greater value. All days are black. Late NOV.

"Capped Reserve Days."

Also a Level 1 SAQ airport (but that means anyone can fly there they just have to look at pictorials. So this shouldn't be an issue.)

Nov 25. But a swap was just approved at 0700 for the exact same days. All black.

The trips are on the exact same 5 days.

If it's truly a 1 for 1, call scheduling, they may be able to manually swap it for you.

I believe it’s contractual that if the trips both touch the same days they cannot deny a trade.

Can’t find a thread that is appropriate so I’ll ask here:

If there’s a 5 day I want, it starts on my last X day before going back on long call. It’s on open time and there’s nobody on reserve list with 5 days available on day 1 of the rotation. Should I put in a yellow slip or wait for the potential green slip call? If I yellow slip, how is the X day treated? Assume it’s just lost because I’m volunteering for it? Apologies up front if it’s a silly question.
