Under the old contract (last time I stood reserve) you could touch just the last day and it would drop off, leaving the others in place. Now I'm not sure with the new contract. I know if you bid recurrent during a block of R days they all go away and they will rebuild the line with those remaining R days.
I want to keep 4 out of the 5 where they are, but knock out the last one. Possible?
Thanks again.
Actually, if you have VAC they will rebuild your R line, while trying to maintain days if possible, but you can input preferences. For instance, I've used VAC to leave 3 days at the beginning of a month and 2 days at the end and asked that they be consecutive at the beginning of the month. Result - a string of 5 R-days at the beginning of the month.
They will try to schedule to max days if you bid VAC with a secondary line. You will get you number of VAC days plus what ever number of days worked to equal max days. Example, 7 days of VAC, they will try to schedule you for 8 days. They do not try to schedule to avg BLG, only min days off comes into play! At least that is how I got burned many years ago!
