Does vacation that touches an "int'l buffer" always create a confict?
Sorry about the drift.
I'm assuming that's what this is saying. It seems black and white...But, as we all know sometimes it somehow turns grey.
7.G. Vacation Bank Administration
1. Regular Line Holder
A regular line holder shall be removed from a trip(s) in conflict with his vacation period (as awarded or slid) or vacation expansion. Conflict with an international duty free buffer, as described in Section 12.D.1.d., shall constitute a conflict with the trip protected by that buffer and may not be waived. The SCH value of the removed trip(s) shall be deducted from the pilot's vacation credit hour bank.
