I seem to remember being able to slide vacation forward or backwards a few days to cover up trips. That was a number of years ago though and at a regional level.
Since we have line bidding for line holders (no PBS) we can knock out entire trips.

Vacation pay per day is 6 credit hours.
Total vacation value (Vacation Days * hours) leads all airlines every year and maxes out at 216 hours
Can slide vacation +- 5 days to knock out trips to an unlimited value
-If the slide is within 48 hours of the end of an international trip it drops
Line holders can expand vacation in either direction to conflict trips to a maximum of 6CH over the original vacation period value
Reserve line holders get 48 hour buffer around their vacation blocks and they can extend using a formula in the CBA. Reserves get leveling for vacation days.
Secondary line holders have a bunch of pluses.

Vacation is pretty dope at FedEx.
