I understand that at the airline industry I would not be rewarded that much per year. If after a few years at skywest, is it correct that you will recieve 3 weeks vacation per year? If so, are you able to combine a week (5 days) at a time with having 4 scheduled days off during a month to make a longer vacation? Is this difficult to accomplish? The attempt is to be able to take a longer vacation than just five days off at a time. Thanks for any information you can provide.
Depends on aircraft and base, but I have gotten 3 weeks off with only 1 week of vacation used.
