I guess that leave vacation so do part timers even get vacations and what is Plane Sense's vacation policy?
I don't believe that you get vacation when you're part time but can't be 100% sure. You can decide to go full time when your number comes up for the jets though. The part time guy who I spoke of earlier was in just that position and he was moving back to full time. Frankly, I still don't understand why a part timer would move back to full time. You can make more money part time and have all the time off you want. If multi turbine time is something you seek, get out to the local airport and meet people and offer SIC services. Pt 91 and corporate operators are hurting for pilots and it shouldn't be too difficult to find a couple gigs.
Everyones situation is certainly different though.
