FedEx, SW, UPS, and Alaska have much better vacation sections.
At Alaska each vacation day is worth 3:30 and we can trade day-for-day with open time or another pilot. Vacation days don't need to be kept together.
The drawback is that we are not paid for trips that touch vacation, and we have to pick back up to 75 hours.
