One AE annually is allowed to be a 365-day conversion window (and then, only if there is a displacement, which they always seem to be able to muster). The rest are 210 day conversion windows.
Crew Resources keeps saying they want to have more frequent/smaller AE's, but they never seem to be able to do it. Many suspect the guy who runs that shop is a good dude, but is hamstrung by higher management, and is constantly riding the end of a whip. We also consider this to be a weak spot in our contract, allowing the company too much leeway on frequency, conversion timing, and vacation planning ability.
Good Luck
