Default Missing Vacation Question?

I may be missing something so was hoping someone could explain new vacation bid. On the CAL side we are bidding for all our vacation in 2014 but, only the weeks bid for first 4 months count. If awarded vacation after May, it will be put back in your bank. Which will be used in bid when all combined group will bid for vacation under old UAL bid system. My question is it seems to me like LCAL guys are using vacation allotment (in my case 5 weeks) for 16 months while LUAL are using their full allotment for 12 months? I'm sure I've missed a memo someplace so I would appreciate if someone could straighten me out on this! Thanks!

You are right that you are bidding for a 16 month stretch of time but you are also accumulating days of vacation during those extra 4 months.
In the spring vacation bid, you will have an extra 11 to 12 days or so of vacation accumulated that you will be able to bid at that time. Clear as mud?
