Default FDX vacation question

Can someone help w/ this scenario:

Feb vacation - 11 days (the last 11 days of the month w/ a slide)

3 days of carryover from Jan into Feb.

If I bid a line that has 2 trips. A 40 hour trip in conflict w/ my carryover and a 25 hour trip in conflict w/ my vacation - How does this play out regarding pay/make-up, etc.

Do I get 40 hours in my make-up bank and 25 hours deducted from my vacation bank? Or do I just get paid for the line out of my vacation bank and have 1 vacation hour left?

I'd like to know if I could conflict w/ the carryover and plus up my make-up bank while still getting paid for a full line. Since it sounds too good, it probably is.

Thanks in advance.

Yes. Your vacation has nothing to do with the first trip of Feb., right?

Besides, I believe they drop carry-in conflict trips(eligible for CIC make-up) prior to vacation administration.

No. You will not get paid for a full line unless you hit the makeup. You will only get paid for trips that you fly or that are conflicted (deducted from) with vacation.

Look at a reserve line. As you can probably take the whole month off except for the C/O trip by knocking out all your R Days with vacation. You will get paid for a full month and any R Days in conflict with your C/O will go into makeup.

Thanks. I usually bid a reserve line but was just curious if there were any advantages to a regular line.
