This is a common misconception. The PWA says it MAY be denied if it touches the period around the stated holidays not that it WILL be automatically denied. I've had one approved for a Christmas trip. Granted, these days we can assume it will always be denied; however, we shouldn't spread rumors that APDs/IVDs will always be denied around holidays because it's just not true.

And it's 2 days before to 1 day after the listed holidays.

I recently noticed at the bottom of my Feb time card IVDs AVAILABLE and
OCCASIONS AVAILABLE counters. I appreciate having these as it has been a pain in the past to try and remember how many I have used and if I have any available.

Concerning though, in Feb it showed 5 IVDs AVAILABLE and 3 OCCASIONS AVAILABLE. On subsequent time cards the counters showed 4 and 2 respectively and I haven’t used an IVD yet. Did anyone else out there have the same thing happen?

Double in fact, I just went and looked at my March time card and it still shows the 3/6 IVD info. So something was wonky with it but everything that is current shows correctly.

I wish. Still only 2 occasions of IVD use starting in July (From the C2019 TA Reference Guide):

PWA Section 7 I. 1. – Improved Individual Vacation Days (IVD)

- Pilots with 3 weeks or more of vacation may use up to 6 IVDs with 2 occasions of use. This is in addition to any IVDs/occasions from Section 14 K.
- Currently pilots are limited to 4 IVDs with 2 occasions to use.
