Edit, looked at the vacation wide reports. Looks like every pilot in every category I looked at had the option of a June, July or August vacation. There were secondary vacations awarded in those time frames.
This is not true. I bid any June, July, or August week as my primary and I've had a move-up bid in since the awards.
"drop trips with pay at will" Where do you get this stuff? APDs were at one time paid but I didn't even mention that. I'm talking about dropping trips to rearrange your schedule. I never said with pay. I'm talking about the 87 hour line with 16 days of work and you would like to drop a 4 day to get to 12 days and 66 hours for whatever reason. Maybe you even pick up 2 days later to get to 77 hours. This is never an issue in January.
