Another thing to watch out for. If you slide your April vacation during the March input window, you won't be able to slide it again in April. You only get one slide.

Another question for the experts. What if you have, say, ten hours of CIC for the month, and also ten hours of vacation makeup? If you put in the same trip for both CIC and vacation makeup in the view/add window, which pay option will they award it to you? As in, what takes priority in your request, CIC makeup or vacation makeup?

Wouldn't the vacation makeup be handled when open time is release for the month and CIC be handled during view add?

I should have specified that it would be during a month that you have vacation, and that your vacation bank was negative.....therefore giving you the option to go into the view/add window for whatever amount you were negative.

The only way I'd ever consider doing vacation makeup is to get that priority during the view/add window, otherwise it's not worth the inflexibility.

To tag on to the expansion question. I have a 7 day vacation the first week of July, if it knocks out a 33ch trip, if I slide back a day into June, can I expand to knock out another 33ch trip or am I limited to 48ch knock out (6ch more than the original 42ch vacation)?
Trying to take out the last 2 weeks of June and first 2 of July.

You'd be limited to the 48 total for expanding. You'd have to do the slide back into June during the June line adjustments.

Having a vacation straddle 2 bid months does have its advantages.

Not what I wanted to hear, but that's how I read it too. Thanks

Expanding you can only knock out 48 hours. But if it happens to touch two 33 CH trips without expanding, just sliding, then you are ok.

I think your best bet is to slide one day back into June, and knock out up to 48ch in June. Then it will also knock out anything it hits in July for those six days still there. If you have trips the first week of July, or bid VTO, you could potentially get another 36 hours knocked out in July, more if you could hold a longer trip.

As others have said I think you missed your chance to slide back...that must come during the slide window from the previous month even though the vacation wasn't until the following bid month. Try and let us know.
