Hi Paxy,
No, you cannot do that because if you do not bid and book all the leave days then scheduling will assign you the remaining days when they want.
However you can opt to do this and then change the leave days allocated to you by scheduling at a later more convenient date, if then there are days available, however be prepared to see leave allocated by them on your roster. It doesn't "float" iykwim it has to be allocated.
As for the 14 days summer leave, I too prefer having all my leave in the winter (for skiing purposes!). There used to be a way to carry some days into the winter in the past, however last year suddenly a new regulation that says that employees must take the minimum of 14 days leave during the summer leave came out. I do not really remember all the details so what I'd suggest you do is 1)
look it up in your MoA. 2)ask scheduling 3)ask your PM. I am sure that their combined efforts will give you all the answers that you need
