Default FDX: Mil leave?

Anyone know if you take mil leave prior to your next month's schedule coming out (VTO), does your makeup bank get credited back up to RLG if they can't put many trips on your schedule do to Military conflicts?

Should you wait for the schedule to come out full then take military leave?

Also if you are deployed for a few months or more in a row, does your makeup bank get credited for each month at the RLG?

Lastly, how about the retirement accounts when you are on mil leave? I remember hearing about the B-plan continuing to accrue $$ at the normal RLG each month. Is that correct?

Thanks,

I might get deployed this fall, that's why so many questions.

.
You'll only get makeup bank credit for the actual trips that are dropped due to mil leave (usually the first month you go on mil leave) -- the other months do nothing for your bank.

You will continue to receive B fund contributions. I'm not sure if it's based upon avg BLG or min BLG.

Sorry, don't know about the VTO stuff.
