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.
No one was asking you to apologize. No one was making assumptions about your work life balance. They are flat out saying you are wasting a vacation week.
Oh, and you won’t be able to hold summer weeks at 50% on the Captain side. Everyone above you will be block bidding them 5 at a time and then humble bragging about it on APC.
