Any way to do this, or do I have to bid all 14 days together? Can't get through to Vacation planners in CS -I'm sure they're busy as one-armed paper hangers. Mentor is out of country I think. ALPA PBS guys the next folks to call?
Elvis:
The key here is that this is round 1 of vacation bidding(primary vacation). In each round you are bidding for 1 instance of vacation. So, if you have 14 days of earned/purchased vacation, in round 1 you can bid for 1 vacation.....in your case it has to be either a single 14 day vacation period OR a single 7 day vacation period. IF you elect to only bid a 1 week vacation then you will be left with 1 week of vacation to be bid in a future round.
In other words you can't bid for 2 seperate vacation periods in a single round of vacation bidding.
