Thanks again for the responses guys. The real question though, JJ and 727pilot, is:

Is the company required to offer the ability to input AVA requests during months when they cancel vacations (either voluntarily or involuntarily)?



I ask, because if so, [as there is no difference in the qualifiers for those two situations and the third (Thanksgiving to Dec 31st) situation], they must also offer that ability when the trip shows between Thanksgiving and Dec 31st.

Thanks again for your responses.

cma, we are back to a 5 week Dec bid period next year.
