Bringing back this old thread with a question after banging my head on the wall.
Bottom Line when bidding a reserve line and having vacation that month. Is there any need to actually have the vacation footprint(i.e. the 7 day block plus or minus 5) touch any part of the R Days. Based upon reading here it doesn't matter where the R days are on the schedule, correct?
I plan to use my 7 days, extend to 10 days and then hope the remaining 5 days are somewhere palatable.

Ok thanks, but what about the extension. Using the formula in the contract I can take my 8 days of vacation and make them 14: (8x6)=48, 48+6=54, 54/3.85(rday value)=14.02 rounded down to 14. Since there are only 14 days in of reserve in a 4 week month can I just bid any R line and knock the whole thing out?
you probably only can extend 3-4 days depending on your actual r day value with an 8 day vacation.

your r day value has to be incorrect. the lowest it could be is 68/15 or about 4:30. Everything else said is accurate, extension is just removing an r day on a one for one basis with the extension days you choose to use. So your actual vacation period plus buffers (waive able) could actually "knock out" more r days than you are allowed and in that case your would be subject to a reserve line reconstruction. If your vacation plus buffers does not hit enough r days then you get to "request" r days from your remaining ones to be dropped.

Back to the thread, has anyone ever had them reconstruct their line even when they had the requisite number of days. Meaning... I have 15 R days and knocked out 10 but left the other 5 standing (by waiving my buffer on one end). I assume they don't touch the line and I get those 5 days on reserve. I don't particularly like those 5 days or waiving anything but I figure they're better than having them put them wherever they want.
I've read the contract and then the same thing on the VIPS Reserve Line Reconstruction page but just wanted any first hand experience.
Any experiences with that?

Sorry, had to do it. Didn't want to get yelled at by the search nazis.

If my approved vacation plus the 48-hr buffer leaves a single R-day after the block is converted to vacation, will CRS make me sit that? I thought there was a rule when I'm trying to drop R days that I can't drop down to a single R day. Didn't know if that applied to this crazy vacation math as well.
