well sure.... but if you want to use up less vacation time............


If you can get by only using 25 hours of vacation for a 10 day block, why use up 40 hours?

the problem is like he said, you have to select your days of vacation AND assign a pay value to them BEFORE you know 1. how many lineholders and reserves there will be that month, and 2. how many hours the average line will be.

so even the guys that use reserve to strategically bid vacation, what do you do when the month you decided to vacay has 0 reserve (as is common in DEN).
