Regarding “value” of vacation, I think it’s important to have some definition around what constitutes “value.” Is it hours PAID per vacation day or hours “CREDIT” per day? I genuinely don’t know enough about how other carriers’ vacation credits work, it it would be nice to know how the calculations were made when comparing to ensure an apples to apples comp.

My opinion is that higher credit per day and more even annual distribution is higher priority to maximize vacation “value.”
If it’s not pay and credit that’s not of much value. The company comma saying they offered industry leading pay was a red flag. I’m thinking value is better but who knows. It’s sad when 17 days vacation doesn’t get you in the LCW.
