Selling vacation back is selling vacation back. Depending on the circumstances, MUV can be about as far from that as you can get, IMO. I am considered MUV in the same situation as Sluggo. My bank is already negative and I have 8 useless vacation days next month. A quick ~21CH MUV trip before next month would give me a positive balance and turn my useless vacation back into a scheduling tool, allowing me to knock out a ~90CH single departure line.

So, you think the end result in my situation is no different than selling back vacation? Which choice do you think the company would prefer I make?
