I should know the answer to this but I don't and I'm away from the PWA. Can you GS on vacation? Thanks in advance.

Yes, they can. However, if they schedule you over an X day you'll get a PB. For May, they finally got my IOE and TOEs scheduled and looks like they tried very hard to work around my X days, but I ended up getting on PB for the last day on my last scheduled TOE.
Now having said that, the real answer will be something like "it depends". I think they finally realized their scheduling mistakes and are trying to get more of the elephant through the snake.
Good luck, when did you finish training? For reference, I finished mid-Feb.

No, because a widebody guy can bid non domestic trips that exceed 30 in 7. Even widebody/intl pilots can only exceed alv window during pbs by bidding a large spillover trip into a following mont with lots of vacation. A narrowbody pilot can't do that unless you have probably 3 weeks of vacation and a trip with all but one day as spill.
The scenario you describe would be a ws pickup after the month starts and I believe subject to alv+15 with vacation pay/no credit and would depend on open time being available on the right days and right amount of credit. Intl just needs one trip with a big spill value during pbs. Its theoretically possiblee to get over 130 hrs using spill and 3 weeks of vacation on intl working 10 days, maybe less but it would be hard to do.
The two factors are pbs cannot?/does not look ahead into the following month at vacation credit for alv purposes and domestic only pilots don't have huge spill rotations due to 30 in 7:
