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.”
Trying to understand your point. Vacation is pay/no credit right now in the contract, for the purposes of line construction and green slip trigger, vacation value is considered pay and credit. I don’t see vacation changing to pay and credit in all aspects of the contract, but I do t know the details of what has been agreed upon.
