Vacation pass, they’re yours do as you want. I have never used a vacation pass for a commute. I actually use them for vacation with my family but I don’t have a problem if someone wants to use them to commute. We all get an allotment to use as needed. I’d personally rather see us all get X number of fee waived FC/BC seats for travel. It’s the only reason I use them. To go international with a chance for a comfy seat fee waived.
We don’t get on ahead or out of seniority. He gets on in his seniority and the more junior guy gets the Jumpseat.
