A huge complaint about the new vacation trading system versus the old pilot site trading system is the "fixed" dates when you select days you want to trade out.

For example, say you want to trade out 4 days of current vacation for 4 days that are open Dec 28, 29, 30, and 31. With this new system, you select 4 current vacation days and select the 4 days in December. If even 1 day is no longer available, you'll get the error - no longer available message. That's fine. But now you STILL have to select one more day out of vacation open time to trade 4 for 4 days. That kills time on Nov 3rd, when everyone is busy taking up days. Because now you have to scroll around and find one open day.

In the old system, you picked 4 vacation days, and on the left column all 4 days had checkboxes. Meaning you'd select which of these current vacation days you want traded out. In this same scenario, if you got an error message for December because only 3 are available, you could *immediately* uncheck one current vacation day box on the left column, and then uncheck the December day that wasn't available, and then submit again instantly.

With this new vacation system, once you pick 4 days to trade out, you are now locked for 4 days and MUST select 4 available days to trade out. There is no way to unselect one current vacation day and make it 3 days to trade. You'd have to cancel the entire request and start all over again, and pick 3 days to trade out.

This is a huge drawback of the new system.
