Taking the PVD next to a lost day would turn a 4 day trip into a 2 day trip. Now they will deadhead you to a station to sit in a hotel on the lost day after your vacation day, making the 4 day a 3 day trip with plenty of hotel appreciation time. Yet another unilateral change to work rules that negatively impacts our QOL.
It seems for every claim of bliss there, I hear 2-3 tales of woe. Walking through a hub the other day, I ran into an old F/O I used to fly with. Very little positive to say and he's outside the 824 and has one foot out the door already. If Delta hires the 1600 I hear the claim over the next 2 years, I'm sure a bunch will ge Envoy. Other carriers will lose to Delta too and thus more from Envoy elsewhere.
A bird in the hand.
