I have found many reasons to leave my desk job and make the jump to the regionals. One benefit that will be sorely lost is paid time off for the holidays and four weeks paid vacation.

I imagine each regional has its nuances for taking time off, but how has it been for you requesting time off? Should I plan to kiss it good-bye for a while? Would it be realistic to plan a week with the family after 9-12 months?

Thank you.
