If a pilot slides his vacation period to within 48 hours of the scheduled end of a trip in which the last activity is an international duty period, that trip shall be deemed in conflict with the vacation period, except for a trip described in Section 12.D.1.c.i.
Are you going to receive Intl override for the trip? Yes. So, all of the international scheduling parameters apply, including the prohibition to waiving the 48 hour vacation buffer, even though the last leg is OAK-MEM. Of course, when in doubt, call ALPA Contract Enforcement to confirm this.
