Scoop, in a holiday month they can unstack to 50% in category, and in every other month it is 60%.
What I have seen as of late is; Even with the reserve coverage well above min, they will unstack reserves, and assign them arbitrary days off even though they could have honored every off day request. It is totally legal, because the reserves that I am looking at fall below 50/60% of the category list, but it is a gotcha, so plan accordingly.

True hockey, but remember that holiday months are will have a PCS multiplier of 1.5. Coverage in my seat is above min staffing all month but I cannot move one day.

Okay, here is another question for you reserve gurus. I know, as a reserve, you cannot be flown over the guarantee unless you yellowslip. My question is........can that guarantee number change if you have vacation, mil leave etc. Or can they always fly you up to 70 hours? Example: You have 6 days of vacation in a 30 day month. Your guarantee is reduced by 2:20 a day down to 56 hours but you also have 18 hours of pay for vacation and will get 74 hours of pay for the month. Can you be called out on a trip or trips that will exceed that 56 hours without yellow slipping? Thanks,
Denny

Okay, the ALV is 73 hours in Nov. With 18 hours vacation pay and 56 hours reserve guarantee you would be at 74 hours, one hour above the ALV. Can you be called out on a 11 day trip (14 days of availability) worth 68+ hours? You would now be paid 68+ hours (trip worth) plus 18 hours in vacation pay for a total of 86 hours and some change. Can this be done if you do not yellow slip?

conversion pay
Question. I'm converting to a new category on the 1st and going to training in the last week of the month. I know you get ALV if you have the entire month off but what about having only a portion of the month off? Thanks..

Hope that clears some things up. Sections 4.C and 22.7 address this.

You'll get your new pay rate like Denny says, but the amount of hours will be a pro-rata portion plus your training. In other words, if you go to training on the 15th of Dec and the ALV is 72 hours, you'll get (14/31)*72 plus 3:15 per day of training.
