A friend of mine at SWA just texted me his schedule... to show how well he worked his week of vacation for Nov. He's at 40% in his base. He parleyed one week of vacation into touching two of his trips, so working 6 days in November. And not working Thanksgiving. He's getting paid 73 hours, (85 TFP), but he's got plenty of room to get more or better trips in the month.

<sigh> We need better vacation rules and vacation credit.
