66 X 4 = 264 hours
264 hours + 85 (average line) = 349 hours
349hours X $287/hour (WB CA) = $100,163
And when you are senior you get the weeks off you need anyways.
Don't know how that would work so well. You don't really know that they're going to buy back vacation in a particular month, since we bid for vacation so far out, except for Nov and Dec. Plus, you'd have to bid four separate weeks, as they won't give you the buyback bonus four times for one long vacation period, but for each individual vacation period that you sold back.
And good luck getting four separate vacation periods during the peak months, even if you're senior. You got one shot for December.
