How junior are you in your seat? At LAX last month, there were about 4-5 guys who got their reserve lines inversely converted to a secondary line...I think they do this from the most junior reserve line back up the list. Hope this helps, as I've never had your problem happen to me.

2 months ago I expanded(extended? whatever the code is for r lines) and it was never processed. I had to call futures for the days to get dropped. They had no explanation why it happened.

1) This is only a wag...and I am not an expert.

2) I "believe" that once you are awarded a reserve line for June, sliding your vacation is not possible. However, using the next steps may eliminate your need to do so.

3) Remember with a reserve line, you can extend (not expand) your vacation a few days using the higher-level math equation. If you want to max avoid reserve, this is important. See the CBA for specifics.

4) Decide if you want to keep or waive 48hr vacation buffers on back & front of vacation.

5) Under Vacation Adjustments, use the Reserve Line Reconstruction tab to pretty please ask for how you want any remaining reserve days to be grouped. Instructions for how to do this should be visible to you on this tab. Use plain English: e.g. "Keeping the back-end buffer, I want June 9-18 off. Please group any remaining reserve days June 20-25 (first choice) or June 19-24 (second choice)."

6) Finally, review all your requests in Bid Period Processing Summary and make it good BEOFRE Monday morning.

7) Rotsa ruck!

You believe an untruth!

Thanks for the words. I called scheduling this weekend, who were very nice, but could not do anything. I plan to talk to futures Monday unless there are any other ideas.
Thanks
