If you stay under the pickup limit that is exactly what I am saying. You could hypothetically drop/pick-up the same 1 day 8:55 block trip multiple times until you hit the pickup limit. Because of column limitations you'd have to call CS and have them "move" the trip from day to day on your time card but I've been told it can be done.

If you drop the trip, it goes into open time and someone senior could pick it up.
The most efficient way is to drop the trip as you are getting close to a GS, and use only a single PB, then rinse repeat. I had 4 PB days this summer. They helped put me in position to get 3 GS.

Not exactly. On reserve if you PD you lose the pro-rated guarantee credit for the day (unless you are already over the monthly guarantee). If you were over the guarantee you would "be full" and wouldn't have to use the PB day. If you use a PB day, you don't lose any pay for not being available for that day.

But if you're already on a Max Credit Line (let's say your personal Max Pick-up is only 8-9 hours, you won't be able to WS that same trip that you just dropped using the PB days. You're only chance to make extra coin would be through a GS (if you're senior) or the Swap Board (if you're junior.)

so for example, I have 3 PB days, I'm a line holder, and I have a 21 hour 4 day trip on my schedule, my max P/U is 12.40, Because the trip is worth 21 hours I can't drop it and WS it back? I'd love to use one PB day to drop it and use the PB day on the day that's 8 hours of credit then WS it back to get 8 hours of pay for my PB day...but I'm guessing that's not possible?
