That's what I've been told, anyway.
Not true, this just happened to me…..I lost 21 days of vacation with NO conflict in training, PDR'ed it and this is what I got back:
Tom,
Unfortunately, yes, the company can choose to cancel your vacation when you move to a new Category if the vacation is after your activation date (the beginning of training). If you were displaced, you have more rights but either way if the vacation conflicts with training or consolidation the company can choose to cancel it.
11-F-5 If a Pilot is activated in a Category that is other than the Category in which he was awarded annual or monthly vacation, the Company may cancel vacation that is scheduled to occur after the activation date.
11-F-6 Notwithstanding Section 11-F-5, a Pilot who was involuntarily displaced may retain vacation scheduled to occur after the activation date under the following conditions:
11-F-6-a If the Pilot does not require training and he notifies the Company of his desire to retain such vacation.
11-F-6-b If the Pilot requires training and he notifies the Company of his desire to retain such vacation, provided further that the vacation start date does not fall between the start of scheduled training and the end of:
11-F-6-b-(1) the next two (2) Bid Periods following the Bid Period in which the Pilot is scheduled to complete his training, if consolidation is required; or
11-F-6-b-(2) OE blocker days, if consolidation is not required; or
11-F-6-b-(3) scheduled training, if the Pilot does not have OE blocker days.
I'm going from the 777 to the 787, training of 13 days….they had 20 days to get my OE complete, but canceled November, December AND January vacation…..sucks….
