I too think productivity gives will be fought hard by the company, but vacation sellback is not something I want in the contract. 1 week this contract, every week the next. There are more creative ways to get more money out of our vacation. The problem with vacation sellback is that pilots will sell it back...

Also, don't discount UPS style vacation just because they "only" have 175 hours worth of vacation. If they drop two weeks of vacation in one month, they have a provision to get the entire month off. I know, I know, they're "not our peers..."
