So in this example if you took 24.5 hours from the vacation bank (7 days worth) to cover a IVD trip, would those 7 vac days in March still exist with no credit time attached to them? In other words would there be 7 days blocked of on your schedule for vacation with no opportunity for bidding a trip during that period? If so, that’s a real downside to using vac bank hours for a IVD trip drop.

Ok that makes sense. So in theory if you IVD a 4 day trip with 4 IVD days, then request through crew scheduling to actually use exactly 24.5 vac bank hours to cover it (versus the normal 3.5x4=14 hrs through regular IVD days) you would have 3 vac days left in the donor month with no credit attached to them. Is that right?

To put it simply,
IVD usage reduces the number of days of vacation that you have
VACB usage reduces the number of hours of vacation that you have
For me personally, time off is more important than pay so I use a few VACB days a year instead of IVD's.
