This document will explain vacation during the SLG process
There are two windows the first is to ask to reduce/add vacation draw - company decision to accept/reject. Then during SLG process you can slide and/or reduce the vacation footprint. You BLG starts with the value of # of vacation days.
In my case I have 10 days next month. If I am awarded a VTO I can only be assigned trips up the the value of 60 hours from vacation plus trips that does not exceed the Max BLG of VTOI value for June that will come out in the FCIF. I can shrink my footprint to zero and get say two 6 CR trips placed anywhere on my calendar and then I can add trips in open time.
Thanks for the reference USMCFDX. I’m not sure I share the enthusiasm in this provision that allows our pilots who consistently work extra to work Even more in a month they have vacation. YMMV.
