Banking question. Let’s say you have 20 hours in the bank, and March 15th you go from year one to year two pay. At the end of March, if you pull that 20 out, is it paid at the second year rate, first year, or “mixed?”

It’s paid at the rate and equipment you hold at the time you withdraw it from the bank.

True, although 5 hours is the most you can pull from your bank in a bid period where you get a greenslip.
If you drop something during a month when you are awarded a green-slip, you can pay for the dropped trip out of your vacation (not full service) bank.
Pay and credit with no 5 hour limit.

Good point. For full transparency, if you do this, you will have a subsequent vacation in a bid period that PBS will build your line based on the full value of that vacation, but after everything is pushed to DBMS the value will drop by however much of your vacation bank you have used up previously by doing this. You will still have the same vacation days, but you will not have the same vacation pay because your bank will run empty before it can pay for all of the days.

You can do this with or without having picked up a GS. The entry for scheduling to use is VACB. Time off throughout the year is more important to me than extra pay in a vacation month so I find this tool quite valuable.

Then you fill up your vacation month with the full service bank. If you had the time in that bank or intended to take it negative during the GS month you would be in the same situation, except no 5 hour limit. My point is... what's the dif? Hours is hours. You just need to be smart about which bank you use and when.
