Default Vacation sliding and MCO Non-rev

Two part question:
1. How easy is it to slide your vacation? I know you can bid it when you bid for the month, just wondering how tough it is to move it, say 2 days to the right.

2. Anyone, know how tough it is to non-rev to MCO in Sep for the family? I know there are 16 flights per day and all on 75s, just wondering if anyone had any historical data for that timeframe. I picked Sep because school is back in session, so hopefully loads are a little lighter.

Thanks!

Did you talk to Delta security? Lots of cameras around campus. And please tell me you had "find my iPhone" enabled!

It all depends upon whether you could have held those two days off with your normal bid. If PBS does not need to unstack you into those days, and it can build you a line (regular or reserve, whichever you're bidding) having slid your vacation as desired, you're good to go. The vacation slide bid will be honored.

Thanks Alan, I appreciate it. We'll see what happens when the bid comes out!

Mco crap shoot any time of year due to convention and trade show business. Sept probably as good as any but Sept is very humid in Florida though.

Yeah, I hear ya. My hope is that over 16 flights, my wife can take a kid or two as they open then I can take one later if needed. I plan on giving myself at least a day of slop to travel on either end...

"Show tunes, they really tell the story of the human condition." Not. Name the movie.

I'm surrounded by metrosexuals.
While you were watching a movie with dudes, I was watching a movie with hot girls.

Think about that.

Not only that. Funny hot girls. And if it wasn't these two hot girls...



..it was Fat Amy. And she will make you roll on the floor laughing.

And if not her, you had the aforementioned Greenbay Packers.

And then these two judges. Oh the demeaning women jokes he told. They're so freaking wrong and hilarious.

And after all of that, there was this music album they were working on that had me crying.

I'd buy it.

That producer of that album, Key from the Key and Peele show, I think he's about to be the next big movie comedian. Usually some comedian group gets 5-10 years at the top and I think his time is starting and his act's timing is perfect and he's perfect for it.

I'm telling you. Go see it.

The other thing to keep in mind is there are usually cheap rental cars in fl with no one way drop fees between airports so if mco not working but tpa, gnv, mlb, dab or jax is open its usually on $30 to drive with gas! Much better than waiting around all day.

Done. Thanks for the tip!
