That's exactly how the PTP 2 days off prior to training work. All it is is a way to guarantee those days off instead of hoping you can bid them off. Either way they are days off which are always unpaid. If you're junior and wanting to fly out somewhere on your first day of vacation it is a nice way to ensure that you won't get stuck with a trip that ends at 2345 the night before your vacation.
