Each day is worth 6 CH's. That is converted to a Vacation Bank.

With 15 days the bank is 90 hrs. Min days is 7 together. I can take the 7 day vacation block and slide it up to 5 days either direction to conflict trips. If I can't or don't want to slide it I can expand it to knock out (6ch's x 7 days= 42 ch's) up to the 42 CH's + 6 for a total of 48 ch's. Those credit hours come out of the bank. For my remaining 8 days I have CH's equal to what I didn't use in the first block of 7 days. Or could bid all 15 days together. The net effect is that I will get every CH of vacation that I earned whether I bid reserve, a line, or have a direct conflict with a trip or not.

Generally, our work day pays 6 CH's or 6+24 CH's depending if it a trip rig trip, block time trip or a min pay per duty period trip.

36 days of vacation is 3 full 4 week bid periods off at full pay.

That's it in a nutshell......
