If I do nothing but extend 3 days to the left and keep the buffer, I'll only knock out 3 RA+ days, but I could slide it to the left and knock out several more, so....
1. Is it a moot point? My understanding of the CBA is that if I knock out less than 10 R days, CRS will automatically remove extra R days to make the total 10?
2. Will my vaca bank be reduced by 10*4.6 CH regardless of how many R days are in direct conflict?
Thanks!

HI, search this forum for a thread further down called FDX Vacation Question, it has a few answers for your questions.
2 suggestions, just take out the CBA, section 7 and go line by line through the reserve line holder section. It really is pretty easy to understand, secondly the Bid Period Processing section in VIPS is also very easy to follow, start at the top of the page and click on every link to familiarize yourself with the options. Reserve vacation is a pretty good deal !
If you expand you will be charged R dys * r day value as you thought. Think of v days and any expansion days as R day replacements, buffer days are NOT. 10 V days with expansion will always remove 10 r days, leaving on the hook for 9 days in Mar, assuming you do not have min days, carryover or training to deal with.
Good luck
