Also, next request, if on reserve you don't lose a day off for training.
Again, not complaining. Just making suggestions as they pop in my head. Spent some time on the line with someone on a rather important committee, learned a lot.
Here's a little secret. If you call the vacation desk (number is on DeltaNet) they may be able to move your vacation +- 3 days. I've done it numerous times. In fact, I'm on vacation right now, and the official days were Mon-Sun.
The key is that it is solely at the discretion of the vacation desk. They will typically grant the request during slow vacation months (like March) but won't over the holidays or the summer.
Just make your request after the 1st of the month, after vacation moveups are processed, but NLT than the bid closing at 0800/12 of each month.
