Pretty easy if done right.. we have a lot of senior captains that have 4 vacation periods. Basically if they use 2 vacation periods in a single month they have the whole month off. The company is offering, if you ask to buy back your vacation for 2x what it is worth.. Now if they pick up 5 four day trips at triple premium that is - min of 16 x 4 x 5. That good sir is 320 hours plus the vacation buy back. I personally know 2 captains that did that but only picked 4 trips with an FO that did well over 320 hours last month

I looked at our open time.. Thomorrow there are still 7 trips available in open time for captain just on the dash. It is gotten very very desperate out there.
