I don't think so.
From Section 11,
I. General
1. A pilot will:
a. receive positive space coach transportation on Company aircraft or on wholly owned
DCI carriers, and Pinnacle (so long as it remains a DCI carrier), to travel between the
training location and any Company station:
1) before and after training.
2) at his request during each duty-free period of 48 hours or more, if sales are
authorized at the time of his attempted booking.
b. receive the highest space available priority among Delta non-revenue travelers on
non-wholly owned DCI carriers (other than Pinnacle) to travel between the training
location and any Company station before and after training.
2. A pilot’s initial reservation will be made to and from the pilot’s base. He may change
this routing to be between the training location and any Company station if sales are
authorized at the time of his attempted booking by coordinating with JSA/XCM.
3. A pilot who travels to training away from base will be considered to have traveled
between his base and the training location in accordance with his initial reservation for
purposes of determining PWA and FAR compliance, training pay, and expenses.

Call the CPSC and tell them your situation. You'll get S1 on the way to and from training but the breaks, you'll be on your own. Worked great for me on ASA.

It looks like they went to great efforts to hide the IR signature of the TR gearbox.

Not sure if ya'll have heard about the helicopters that were used in the insert/extraction of the SEALs in the operation to kill Osama...
They wrecked one of them, and instead of leaving the carcass in place like usual, they blew it up. Why? This is a picture of a portion of the wreckage left after the blast:
I certainly don't recognize that as a part of any helo that I know of... May very well be unacknowledged technology. Pretty cool!

I saw the Comanche in person, this photo makes me very skeptical as the two are nothing alike. No rivet holes, the blades seem to be very narrow, potentially five of them. No IR position lights anywhere. Doesn't add up.

No, because a widebody guy can bid non domestic trips that exceed 30 in 7. Even widebody/intl pilots can only exceed alv window during pbs by bidding a large spillover trip into a following mont with lots of vacation. A narrowbody pilot can't do that unless you have probably 3 weeks of vacation and a trip with all but one day as spill.
The scenario you describe would be a ws pickup after the month starts and I believe subject to alv+15 with vacation pay/no credit and would depend on open time being available on the right days and right amount of credit. Intl just needs one trip with a big spill value during pbs. Its theoretically possiblee to get over 130 hrs using spill and 3 weeks of vacation on intl working 10 days, maybe less but it would be hard to do.
The two factors are pbs cannot?/does not look ahead into the following month at vacation credit for alv purposes and domestic only pilots don't have huge spill rotations due to 30 in 7:

Also, regarding this carryover issue and it relating to wide-bodies:
1. What is the problem?
2. How many pilots does this really impact?
3. What is the solution?

Maybe they were like "I'm not going over there..." I'm not a twitter guy but did you see about the Pakisanti who was twittering this:
"Helicopter hovering above Abbottabad at 1AM (is a rare event),"
"Go away helicopter - before I take out my giant swatter :-/,"
"A huge window shaking bang here... I hope its not the start of something nasty."
"Since Taliban [probably] don't have helicopters, and since they're saying it was not 'ours', so must be a complicated situation#abbottabad." [LEFT]
@raihak Funny, moving to Abbottabad was part of the 'being safe' strategy
Repost "I think the helicopter crash in Abbottabad, Pakistan and the President Obama breaking news address are connected."
"and now I feel I must apologize to the pilot about the swatter tweets :-/"
Osama Bin Laden killed in Abbottabad, Pakistan.: ISI has confirmed it << Uh oh, there goes the neighborhood :-/
"Uh oh, now I'm the guy who liveblogged the Osama raid without knowing it."
"The gunfight lasted perhaps 4-5 minutes, I heard. That was around 10 hours ago. There are no other gunfights that I know of."
"Reuters got to me before I could go to sleep."
"Bin Laden is dead. I didn't kill him. Please let me sleep now."
