As far as getting Xmas off being junior on a WB, from my experience (albeit as a junior in category WB-A) it can be done fairly easily using vacation, IVD's and your APD. This last year I had a week of vacation in December and moved/slid it to the second week. I could not get it over Xmas. But with the use of an IVD and my APD I was able to narrow my on call days down to Dec. 24, 25, 26. Other than something popping up last minute there were no trips I could be assigned. The shortest trip in my category was 4 days. Other than something popping up last minute I was golden. You do have to pay attention to longer trips that can be broken up but that's easily doable. I was home for this last Xmas and every year I have been on the 330 (about 5).
