FDX-Vacation/Training Buffers
Read the contract, and think I have the answer, but want to ask the experts here.
Can I schedule recurrent training the day after my vacation ends?
Vacation (after slide) ends 16 May. Can I do a 0900 Ground School on the 17th? Is there any conflict with either a vacation buffer or training buffer? I can't find any, so I think I'm okay to do this, but don't want to get hosed by making a conflict.
Thanks.

However, you will be going to GWOE training...That's "GLOBAL", as in international. You may want to check with someone to see if that would qualify for the non waivable international buffer.

I believe there is a 12 hour training buffer which is Not waiverable.
If vacation ends at 0100, i do not think you can have a Training event at 0900.
If your vacation ends at 0100lcl 16 May, you should be fine for 0900lcl 17 May.

This is in the recurrent training bid instructions:
"Sessions in a vacation footprint will not be awarded. Training during a vacation expansion is allowed if bid by the pilot."
I'd call them but I think in your case the training starts outside the slid vacation footprint.
