For each of those 7-day blocks of vacation, you'll be paid the minimum value of a 5-day trip, 26:15. In your 6th or 7th year of employment, you'll finally get a third week of vacation, which will pay less than a 5-day trip (24:30). 5 years later, 11 or 12 years after being hired, you'll be up to four weeks of vacation worth significantly less than 20 days of work... unless we finally get the vacation we're negotiating for. Our table position would value each week of vacation like 7 days of flying...36:45/week.
For comparison, I THINK FedEx's vacations currently pay 42 hours per week?
