I got asked this question and couldn't find a definitive CBA reference.

Do we get paid for R-days knocked out by the 48-hour vacation buffers?

i.e.
A pilot has vacation that starts on Wed and goes for 7 days. He has 19 days of reserve starting Mon (two days before his vacation starts) and didn't waiver the buffers.

He can extend by 3 days, knocking out 10 R-days. His buffers on either end will knock out 4 more R-days. According to the contract, his vacation bank will be charged 10 x R-day value (4:46 this month), so about 47:60.

He's going to end up with 5 R-days left on his calendar. Assuming he sits reserve for those 5 days, is he going to get paid the full RLG for his reserve line?
