I can't answer your questions, but I can recommend you call your respective Futures Scheduler. This is a good time (of the bid month) to call; don't wait until next week when they start getting jammed up with phone calls re: Why didn't I get awarded this line?, Conflict Input Window or View/Add time. I had a question about what was processed first, vacation slide requests, or training bid inputs, and called G.H., who was very helpful and talked me through the "sequence of events" that the software goes through in processing requests. [BTW, if I remember correctly, I was told all vacation actions take place first, since they are of highest priority. After that, carry-in conflict (CIC), training bid, etc.] Good luck.
