Yes you buy them using the full service bank. It’s option 3 or something like that. You don’t have to attach them during the actual vacation bidding process. As long as you do it before the next vacation year starts (April 1) you can place them once you have your vacation awards from each round.

I like to wait until I see all my weeks and then just call or email crew planning to place the days. As you probably already know there are a couple restrictions in December & January, otherwise you can attach them wherever you want.

Type “vacation” in the Deltanet search bar and a pdf should come up with details, unless they’ve pulled it down from past years.

You can also add banked vacation days to a vacation bid (and / or add supp days) when you submit your bid. You can add days to the front and / or back end. Use the 12N lines on initial bid page (for SVAC right now)

Remember, right now buying extra days is automatic.However, once next years vacation year starts, you can only buy extra days the month prior and by approval of the company (which means it won’t be approved).

Hope this helps.
