Total vacation value (Days X hours per day)
FDX- 216
UPS- 175
Southwest- 160.6
Alaska- 143.5
Jet Blue- 140
UAL- 136.5
Delta- 126 (current)
Hawaiian- 114
American -113.7
So yeah we are pretty much lagging the industry. UAL by the way gets 6 weeks.

When half of the airline was hired in the last 6-9 years, it’s pretty easy to add another vacation year to the 25+ year longevity table. That is too little, too late.
I’d like another week at all longevities, thankyouverymuch. They might still be funding less total vacation across the list than they did in 2013, when accounting for the mass exodus of long service pilots off the top. Same goes for sick leave efficiencies they have gained of late.
