2 weeks off a few months out of training in March? I'd say your only bet would be to plan to drop some cash on the trips and hope for the best. If you have a RSV line you're pretty much screwed.

I overheard a 1st year pilot trying to get a Chief to give him a week off for a cruise. It did not end how he envisioned.... this was a very pro pilot CP.

The company is being very active in how they chase down sick/emer calls now, especially on the first year. A few weeks ago in ORD the leadership sent an email out to every pilot who called in sick over a random weekend demanding a doctors note. The days of racking up 10+ and not hearing a peep are over. I'd have to assume the cross checking of travel, CASS, and KCM is taking place on anyone in question.
