While the number of Vacation days remain unaffected, isn't there an impact down the road when you get to your last week of vacation for the year? I believe PBS will see the number of vacation days for the month and assign the normal value for line construction purposes. When your award is uploaded into DBMS, your reduced vacation bank will be applied and you will have a short month. For example, if you use vacation bank to cover the full value of a dropped 5 day trip, your final vacation week could pay $0, but you will have the full week of hard no-fly days of vacation on your line. Is that right?
