Thanks for all the responese. It seems that the days off question is complicated. I am reading that counting standby days as days off gives a line pilot about 14 days off a month. Does this seem accurate?
As far as vacation I am trying to figure out if your vacation falls in the middle of a trip do they just drop the whole trip?
Does a week of vacation give you a calendar week off? For instance if you have a 5 day trip 3 times in a month and your vacation falls on the week you dont have a trip do they drop the trip either before or after your vacation?
Thx for all the help.
