This was denied and I think that's what they guy meant as "none" in that thread.

Alaska line bidding has vacation and transition conflict drop, but you are responsible for making sure you stay above 75 hrs. If you drop below that then you have to add to get back to 75. Vacation pays 24.5 hrs per week so if that's enough to keep you above 75, you don't have to add anything. It's crap. The only advantage to line bidding is Vac and Transition drop with pay protection. Without it, you may as well have PBS.
