If you drop it for min day off you then have CIC hrs you can pick up I believe.
I should have mentioned I was bidding a regular line...

I know vacation buffers don't cross bid months, but I thought the international duty free buffer would go into previous months for regular line holders:

(From section 7, page 80):

G. Vacation Bank Administration

1. Regular Line Holder

A regular line holder shall be removed from a trip(s) in conflict with his vacation period
(as awarded or slid) or vacation expansion. Conflict with an international duty free buffer,
as described in Section 12.D.1.d., shall constitute a conflict with the trip protected by that
buffer and may not be waived. The SCH value of the removed trip(s) shall be deducted
from the pilot's vacation credit hour bank.

2. Secondary/Custom Line Holder

a. A pilot shall receive a 48 hour duty free vacation buffer at each end of his
vacation period provided that the buffer occurs in a bid period in which the
pilot is awarded a secondary line. A vacation buffer shall not extend
outside the bid period(s) in which the vacation occurred. A vacation buffer
shall not create a conflict with a trip that began in the previous bid period.

I have never done this before so I am not sure?????
Thanks for your help!!
