I can't take any earlier unfortunately, due to an existing obligation to attend a class for the military. But with how fast the one month bump happened, I can see it happening.

Anyone wanna give me the quick and dirty on the 48 hour period? Contract says move 6 days, 8 if we have automated scheduling (lol). So does that mean I can swap one four day for another four day, and that's basically it unless I have a two day on my line? Was hoping to swap out my low credit four days for higher credit ones in the same footprint (no workdays moved).

It's simple. Bid build-up and then move your reserve days around to get a bigger chunk of time off. I've got the last 8 days of the month off this month. Did 6 in a row last month, etc. No use of vacation, making above min guarantee.
