A little thread necromancy here..
F/O lines came out today. I'm now having one lone ** day on 30 JAN, with a 12 day reserve block and a 5 day reserve block on both sides of it. Not worth going home for one day normally with the commute out of NYC.
I tried to use PCS to move the Reserve X day from 30 JAN to 18JAN.
iCrew says I can't do that, move must be 3 days in the future.
Reserve coverage looks good. I can't find anything in the contract that says must move 3 days in advance.
Call scheduling. They say can't do it within 3 days. I asked where that's written, he didn't know, just "cant be done".
So now I have this lone ** day that's basically useless, what is the best way to make use of it? Hope for 30 hour rest into it to make enough time to be worth going home?
PCS for additional on call day? I think that gets me 3:45ish in credit if I do it.?
Any other jedi master moves I should consider using?
I was considering just sitting on my ass at home and playing the long call roulette, but there's a 3-4 hour window a night where I have to drive 7 hours if they hit me with a 12 hour on the nose callout.

Aside from what Tummy said, I don't know of anything to get out of this pickle.

I’ve got my first month of reserve in 10 years so I’m glad this has resurfaced. I’m looking to move off days around and understand the reserve rules. For me it’s 3-99-5. Does anyone know if in processing the moves do the reserve rules have to be followed for each move, or just within each priority? For example if my first move breaks a rule, but the next fixes it within that first priority will it allow that?

There was another thread where guys were asking "whats the deal if schedules come out later than normal"
Schedule out one day earlier would have saved me from this. Now I just have to wait to the 20th to try to move February around to a more logical block

Fairly certain it's every move. Sometimes I've had to move days I really didn't want to, only to move them back, just to keep within the reserve rules.
