Default FDX annual training and Vac

Anyone know the bid and VAC slide and expansion procedures to force annual training from a vacation month to the following grace month.

Thanks

I believe that we must have our fleet manager to approve sliding a month on recurrent training dates. Used to be able to just call training and ask, now the manager must approve, unless things have changed back.

Actually I just did this. I called and wrote an email to the sim schedulers and asked if my recurrent month could be moved forward one month from my orginal due date of April. In my case I would be off for the entire month of April, so it was gonna have to be March or May. I never talked to any program managers.

That's good news, and what I used to do, but the last time I tried it 2012/2011, the schedulers said that power was "taken away" until they got an email from a flight manager. Good to see they are pushing those decision to lower levels.
