I got a June vacation block this year. Traded one week for July and one for spring break. Left me with 2 in June. Probably gonna bid some premium over one of my weeks as well. Sorry not sorry. Could care less about what people assume about my work life balance.

It’s gonna def be hard to give up some of the perks of being a senior FO such as sweet vacation. Even if we switch our vacation to the new system I don’t expect to be able to hold summer weeks as a Captain until 2032 which is when I would be 50% up the list.
