Not true, IVD can also be paid via VACB. 23.I.18. The bank is just time the vacation day comes off of the last scheduled vacation. Don’t use more than a single day IVD if you intend to use vacation bank time to cover the entire trip value. Vacation days and vacation bank are two different animals. I’ve had to call more than once to get it correct.

Well, that’s what I thought and told them. The scheduling supervisor informed me the crew resources supervisor said the IVDs had to be moved.

I had a 6 day trip with the last three days as IVD. They took off 3 of the 4 IVD but kept the dropped trip.

You’ve called back to get them to keep the IVD? Crew Sched’s?

I only use a single day IVD to drop the trip, then explain that I want to use 23.I.18 NOT 23.11.f. from my vacation bank to cover the dropped trip. I get pay and credit for the entire trip versus pay 3:30/3:45 per IVD day and no credit. The vacation bank is then debited accordingly and VACB is shown on the schedule. Check your time card for the pay and credit per 23.I.18. The default is 23.11.f. if you don't make the request and ensure they did it correctly.

Can you pick up a trip over the footprint of the VACB days, or are they hard no fly days?

OK. Let me just drill down to make sure I understand.

I drop a 5-day with one IVD on the last day of the trip. Schedule looks shows: ////IVD. Time card shows IVD with 3:45 pay no credit.

If I use the VACB, I understand my timecard will show VACB with 26:15 pay and credit.

Will my schedule show VACB, VACB, VACB, VACB, VACB or ////VACB?

I misunderstood your question a bit. I thought you referred to regular vacation. If you personal drop a trip and cover it with vacation bank time I believe you can fly over that trip unless you used a APD in which case you can’t fly on any actually APD day.

Default How to IVD?

I’m trying to enter an IVD for next month. The vacation I’m trying to pull from is 26 March-01 April 2023.
I found the “Individual Vacation Days Request” in the leave request section of PCS. The left hand side of the table I found is confusing to me. Under priority 1 there are two Begin/End entry areas.
I think I understand the right side…I put the day in August where I want the IVD (19Aug-19Aug).
I want to use the 26th of March as the IVD, so what do I put in the two Begin/End areas on the left side of the form?
TIA

on the left of the form where it says from vacation you put the day you want to use ie 26mar-26mar. On the right side of the for where it says to IVD you put the day you want off ie 19aug-19aug. This will not process until the 20th on the first pcs run for August.

Just enter 26 March in the first field set. I believe the second field is if you are using another day(s) from a second vacation for a multi-day IVD request.
