Actually, if you're trying to max out your pay in a four-week bid month, and you have say, a 14-day vacation, bidding VTO works pretty good. For every vacation day you have during a month you were awarded a VTO line, you will recieve 6 hours pay. So, a 14-day vacation equates to 88 hours of pay, and the entire month off for a 4-week bid month. Not bad.

"Why would you bid VTO in a vacation month anyway? There's no positive to doing so."
Since you want to know... Some of us aren't senior enough to get what we want when we bid. Reserve is going pretty senior in the seat, and I could not hold reserve lines that did not have carry-over. Knowing that our VTO lines have been getting reserve, once I bid the reserve lines without carryover, VTO was the next best option. I never thought I wouldn't get leveled.

Line trips vs reserve leveling
I do have reserve this month and vacation. However, I am currently flying a 4 day trip and start reserve next week. As of now, my leveling for next week when I start reserve doesn't reflect the leveling for the trip I'm on now. Should I get leveling credit for this 4 day trip?
Best to ALWAYS have a couple of days off in between a trip which you will get leveled and the start of r days.
