2024-25 Vacation
I know starting with April vacations, we are entitled to 48 hours off prior to our primary vacations. Are those 2 days considered hard off days? And if on reserve, any release restrictions the day prior to a hard no fly day? Thanks

I wonder how it works with vacation slide too. I know you have to be able to hold the days you want to slide your vacation off, but do you have to be able to hold those two prior days too? For example, could I slide my vacation to start July 5th, but effectively get the 3rd and 4th off as well? Or would I not be able to slide my vacation to the 5th due to not being able to hold the 4th off?

Not treated differently than other off days. If on reserve, they count towards two of your X days

I do not know the answer to the “ hard day off” question, but I highly doubt the 2 PVPP days will be considered hard days off IAW the PWA - just pre-awarded X days.
A dart to ALPA would be in order to get official answers to your questions.
