Default FDX- Vacation and Recurrent Training Question

Once again I managed to bid vacation and training in the same month. I don't recommend this! Live and learn I guess. So I've gone over the contract and I don't see this issue addressed.

Has anyone had experience with getting training immediately following a vacation period? (not expansion but the actual vacation footprint)

I'm trying to determine whether I could be assigned a recurrent training date immediately following the vacation. (i.e. vacation day ends at 0729 and the WU sim starts at 1000.)

The contract says (11.E.4) that you cannot be forced to travel for training on your vacation footprint but I assume it refers to off sight training and that the assumption is you live in Memphis and are not a commuter.

I appreciate any insight.

Don't waive your 48 hour vacation buffer. That should solve it.

Isn't that buffer only for reserve lines?
