Can you white slip a spill over trip that would go into vacation in the following month? What are the outcomes?

LOL, no. You can't WS a trip that has a conflict with something not "droppable" like training and vacation.
You CAN WS a trip with a conflict in the next month, and if there is coverage it will drop the next month's trip WITHOUT PAY protection... lots of guys surprise themselves with this.

Maybe I am wrong, but my guess is that December will not be as "anomalyish" as people hope.

Why do you think the category went so junior. Once it stabilizes more senior guys will be bidding the category, which is another reason to hold off for a little bit. I don't know how many times I've heard guys complain about being a reserve guy when they jumped on the first bid and could hold a line only to get bumped back on every bid after that.
Here is a little bit of trivia for you guys. Marking the regular line holder only box on a bid does not guarantee you a line all year round. Because we have seasonal high times and down times you may only get a line during the summer months.

A minimum staffing for one shuttle takes about 30 crews, so until you are up to that as active in base, it will be a more piecemeal operation... Add the DCA Shuttle back in and you will be talking 60+ in each seat just to operate shuttle (not that I think DC shuttle is coming back to mainline, but you never know). Who knows if they will staff for shuttle flying and then build up for "see America" or just cobble it together until it's all viable for the base.
Congrats to 10,302..... Enjoy your BOS and Kew Gardens layovers!

Yeah, I'm a newhire ATL320B. I only moved up net +2 (10 out, 8 in), but 12 more were added below. We may not be moving up, but the bottom is moving down. At least that ups our % in category.
