another FDX vacation question
I've got vacation coming up, and i was thinking about bidding a Reserve line, does the 48hr buffer on either side of the vacation go into your make-up bank and reduce your the credit hrs - of pay - if you knock out more r-days?

If you've knocked out r days with the buffer they will put them somewhere else in the month. To knock out more days you have to expand.

Take the number VAC hrs you have in the block, divide by R day value, round up (Apr - 42hrs = 10 R days knocked out, you will then have 48hr buffers on either side of that block of 10 days). I have VAC and training in Apr, 3 R days, 2 training days and 10 VAC days (at 1 R day value each)
R day = 4+37 = 4.61667
42CH/4.61667 = 9.09 rounded up to 10
46.1667 hours charged to VAC bank, ie, in the hole 4.1667 = 4+10CH

Hopefully I'll figure it out by the time I retire (probably be 75 or 80 the way things are going now, so I've got time on my side
)That's if the drones don't get us first.

They will give you the option to tell them where you want them to go. They may or may not honor that request. They are supposed to rebuild your schedule using as many of the originally scheduled blocks of r days as possible so they may just tack a day or two to blocks that remain intact making them slightly longer than you expected.
