Yes, you can. PWA 23 I. 9. Note two.
Also SRH page 81: "A pilot is allowed to drop or swap a carry-out rotation prior to the close of line bidding for the subsequent bid period if the number of reserves available in the current bid period is sufficient. It will be assumed that the number of reserves available in the subsequent bid period will be sufficient."

And for anyone who isn't aware, this won't work if the trip days in the future bid period touch an APD holiday. Generally this is only an issue in July due to July 4th and April in years where Easter falls very early in the month like this year. In that case any trip drops won't process until the future bid period schedule is published and reserve levels known.

Violated off day grouping means you’re messing up the X- or the -X…or you’re trying to pull from the middle of the block…

Another question for the brain trust. The company is now using (100% or as near as doesn't matter) CNO calls to assign short call. This is not a valid form of contact outside of Non-fly and Rotation release requirements, is it? Section 23 and SRH seems to say it has to be a scheduler (unless you acknowledge it of course).

edit, reserveguru, I mean tennisguru, beat me to it and of course answered the question better than me also.
Thanks for the answer on APDs.
