That is what I was wondering, what would the work schedule look like for a secondary line when you are pay only. I definitely will stick with what I did, which was bid max days off lines in decreasing credit hour order. Hopefully that will get me the most days off at the highest number of credit hours.

Now, what do I do in early March when I activate and I want to use my vacation? How should I order my preferences for that custom line? Do I have them build the line and then "apply" my vacation or will they just work around the vacation as they build the line? I'm assuming that my vacation will add to the number of off days on my line (based on the trips I can knock out with my 48 hours or so).

Anybody had to do this before in a vacation month?

Thanks again for the replies.
