Also, the section you are referring to about 2 months ahead only applies to carryover TRIPS. R days do not meet the definition of a trip. Here's the section " A pilot may slide a vacation to conflict with a carryover trip as provided in Section 7.E.2.a. (above), only if he submits for the slide during the Conflict Input Window associated with the award of bid period in which the carryover trip began [e.g., the Conflict Input Window in the end of November (i.e., the Conflict Input Window for the December bid period award) is used to slide a January vacation to conflict with a December into January carryover trip." R days are not multi-day events and are not connected to each other in any way.
