The scenario you describe would be a ws pickup after the month starts and I believe subject to alv+15 with vacation pay/no credit and would depend on open time being available on the right days and right amount of credit. Intl just needs one trip with a big spill value during pbs. Its theoretically possiblee to get over 130 hrs using spill and 3 weeks of vacation on intl working 10 days, maybe less but it would be hard to do.

The two factors are pbs cannot?/does not look ahead into the following month at vacation credit for alv purposes and domestic only pilots don't have huge spill rotations due to 30 in 7:
If available you can pick up off the swap board & that's not subject to max p/u.
