To use them in the Jan-Mar time frame, you will have to call crew scheduling and they do it manually.

PB days converted to VA days are paid out March 31, if not used. Also vacation time can be used to cover PD and APD time dropped. I call it the QOL cycle of life. PD or APD time - covered by VA time - covered by bank time - covered by paid out or converted PB time - covered by res GS PB days.
