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?
I had the exact same issue/question. The answer I got, and it jibes with both careful reading of the PWA language and the way iCrew interface works, is that you CANNOT do what you're trying to do.
The ability to split week(s) of vacation depends on your "earned" vacation (in this case, something over 7 but fewer than 14 days). You pick your vacation week(s) based only on this number. THEN, any days you've bought are added to that vacation period.
