Set condition min Credit, if awarded, sets your personal LCW to the bottom half of the LCW. This would be ALV minus 7.5 to ALV. If you're senior enough and willing to accept an unconditional bid group, you could also try for an RLL line.

In short, if you are sufficiently senior in your category, you won't be eligible for an RLL because there will be enough rotations left in the pot to build you a line within the LCW.

Transfer base
Base transfer only, say NYC to ATL, no change to category. Would one retain their previously assigned vacation dates?

And, fyi, a base transfer is a change in category. Category is defined as "the combination of a pilot’s position and base." (see 2.A.41 or 22.A.6 for reference).

7 C.7.a. just says you will retain the vacation
7 C.7.b.2. is the reference for choosing to retain a vacation on an AE bid when training is required

I think you would keep your vacation even if you didn't select it on the AE bid. That selection is choosing to forgo pay protection by allowing pilots junior to you going to the same category to train ahead of you in order for you to avoid training over your vacation. Only switching bases requires no training, so the conflict could never exist.

Yup....you are correct, thanks for clarifying. On your AE preference, you elect to (or not) retain vacation in lieu of qualification training thereby waiving any pay protection if a junior pilot is trained and converted before you because your qual training was pushed later in order to honor your vacation.
