If you only knock out 4 r days, you will use 18 hours of your vacation bank. Vacation days mean nothing after the award, except that you can NOT work on those days (except maybe for draft). You burn vacation by HOURS, not days. If you slide to the right 3 days, that Mon Rday should either come back or get dropped (if it is stand alone) and get put somewhere else on your line.
Check out the bid line adjustments tab, and go to the bottom of the page on the right. There is a bid processing summary option on the bottom that will give you a graphic depiction of what your vacation requests will do to your schedule and the amount of hours that it will cost you in vacation.
PM me if you'd like some more help.

Regarding a RSV line this is not true, you will always be charged the number of V days at R day value from your bank. The only caveat is if you choose to reduce a vacation period to avoid a bank deficit. If your V days and buffer days do not cover the number of actual R days you plan to drop then the reconstruction request will include the additional R days you want dropped or in the case of too many R days dropped by your footprint you will request where to move the extra days you owe them somewhere else on your other available days.
VTO's ar a bit simpler, number of days x 6 hours will be credited towards your BLG and then they will build you a schedule with flying to bring you up to or above contract min BLG. You have virtually no control of hours used on a VTO unless you are going to reduce to avoid a deficit.
