This week is the election for how many days you want to take. It's supposed to default to max, but like any prudent person would do with our company's IT history, best to log on CCS and check for yourself.

Next week the primary bidding cycle will open. I would expect an ALPA email with instructions to come out as well.

I'm 61% BES. So don't expect anything in June-Aug?
If I don't get that in Primary bid cycle, do I keep those days in secondary and tertiary bids or does that's mean they're unavailable?

Before the bidding opens we'll see a matrix with the number of vacation slots available to each BES. It just updated after each cycle so you'll know what's still left over after each round closes and is published.
