Reserve available/required numbers are constantly shifting during a PCS run. It is possible that a pilot between you and the junior pilot did some other swap that affected some of those days that made the swap allowed for the junior pilot when it wasn’t allowed for you.

and short reserve coverage. However, I was swapping a 2 day trip for two 1 day trips over the same two day period. Is there a legit reason, per the PWA, that could cause this swap to be denied?

So this comes back to my original question of what can cause “same day” swaps to be declined. The entire month of July is “black”

I had a situation where I bid golden days around a vacation 3 months in advance. As my vacation month got closer my plans changed. I needed to slide my vacation and wanted to bid CQ over those golden days. No soup for you. I said I’ll drop the golden days altogether that month. Nope, too bad, so sad.

Just went back and looked. They were entered vertically. Which I’m now assuming means it was done incorrectly. However, when talking to CS on the phone initially when they trying to figure out why it was denied, they verbally stated that the request had been entered correctly.
And since this is in the “latest and greatest”
thread, is there any talk of revamping, updating, improving, or replacing icrew?

Sadly you can't count on them to know. I've recently experienced quite a few instances that prove that point. Lots of inexperience in scheduling.
