Years 11-19: 4 weeks
Years 20+: 5 weeks
A crewmember that opts into OCV (optional crewmember vacation) can elect one of two options: 1. get paid 5hr/day of vacation fly normal schedule (ie. vacation buyback) or 2. two weeks of vacation in the same four week pay period drops that pay period's entire schedule.
If one only has a single week of vacation in a given pay period, they can 1. bid for conflict which drops trips and pays 3hr for each vacation day falling on a day off or 2. OCV and get paid 35 hours for that week of vacation.
Starting in 2018 there will be an OCV option to "one week slide" vacation to better provide better conflicting, and any slid OCV one-week vacation day that ends up falling on a day off will pay at 5hr/day.
