Default FDX-Conflict/Input problem

Here's the problem. I have recurrent training next month, so I go into VIPS to make my choices of sim dates, but no option available for me to make the input. I don't know if by being in my grace month has messed things up or not. My main concern is that the window closes tomorrow at 0700 MEM time, which is before any admin person shows up for work. Will this cause me to lose my spot in line for picking dates? Any ideas/suggestions is appreciated.

I would be on the phone first thing tomorrow morning. They won't plug anyone into the training slots for a few days so you have time to plead your case.

May be a stupid question, but is the "Recurrent Training Bid" just greyed out, or not even there? I don't have training due, but I can at least select it and get to the 1st page of the bid, where they ask about min days off and such.

It's not even there. I just have the standard two questions about min days off and international buffer.

What happens when you answer those questions and hit 'Submit'?

Problem solved. Thanks Purple F/O. I remembered it as being combined with those questions, and I didn't want to hit submit without making my choices. This is exactly why this forum works well. You just saved me from waking up early (West Coast) and calling the admin folks. Thanks again. I apologize for being a dumb-a$$.

The first step is recognizing you have a problem.
