If used as supp vacation do they need to go through the standard vacation bid?
You can use your PB days from this year in Jan-Mar 2017. You will have already bid (or be in the process of bidding) them as supplemental vacation days. This is why you will need to call scheduling after you drop a trip. Also be aware that Jan-Mar of any year is the ONLY time you can use PB days to cover an APD.
