If you plan at least 1 day of carry-in from the previous bid cycle on the month you will bid COLA, you will still accrue vacation.

I had no idea. I'll go pull up the contract tonight and learn more about what you're talking about. Thank you.

Thanks! Appreciate the tip. It seems I learn many lessons the hard way.

Just a theory.

Have you tried bidding reserve on a vacation month? It’s pretty difficult to get more than one set of days off you want outside the vacation. Same with building a legal line.

I’m confused.... I got 9 days cola for the beginning of January. Does this mean I can find my stapler in the basement?

Granted, I’m a EwR bus dude.

I’d recommend letting your medical lapse.
