[QUOTE=Systemized;1821519]About your trip touching, does it net you more paid vacation days or just drops trips that touch your vacation days and vacation pay credit stays the same?

Credit is the same. It is how you use it that can yield the best benefit. You can kill the trips with less daily credit than your vac and make money over original line or try to line up a train of days off, up to you. I recently did 20 days off in Nov, 11 in a row, 82 hrs credit on 51 block.
