Question for scheduling gurus:
Currently have a RSV line for OCT. Days OFF 1-15. On RSV 16-31. (Single block of 16 days.) Trying to move four OFF days from 05-08 and put them on 16-19. Computer saying this violates OFF day grouping requirements.
I can't see where this is not a compliant trade. Results would be only two blocks of RSV and it does not cause a 30/168 violation that did not exist prior to the trade. RSV grouping in my category were 3-99-5 for the OCT bid period. Anyone can explain what I'm missing?

As mentioned by Texan the move has to be from the front or back end of your X days. Assuming there is adequate reserve coverage you can try and do it in two Separate PCS runs. Move 12-15 to 16-19 and then next run move 05-08 to 12-15.
Seems like it would work but I’ve been confounded more then once by our onerous x day move rules.

Yes it’s what the contract dictates. If we had the type of ability many want in moving Xdays reserves in many categories could effectively block trip awards for the entire month. Some use mil leave to do that now.

Not being lazy here, I just can't find it. Do you have a contractual reference?
Depends on what type of XX day moves we're talking about. If you are inferring that people want to use their 13 off days as 1 day off every 2 or 3 days then I agree, Delta cannot run an airline that way. But moving a group of days from the middle of a large block to somewhere else, and the new schedule conforms to 3-99-5 or whatever the category rules happen to be should not be a problem. Assuming enough open RES days you can already do that, but it takes 2-3 PCS runs. Often I find myself in the situation where my end-state would be legal with proper RES available but the in-between steps of getting to that point I run into not having enough reserve coverage OR I'd have to give up a weekend of XX days knowing that once I move those, I won't be able to get them back since the REQ is already lower than the available. That is extremely frustrating and doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
