We need a fifth week and that’s about it. No other changes please.
Not sure I follow...
Our vacation day is 5 hours (35 hrs for 7 days). We're also allowed to assign less or more value prior to bidding to gain less or more flying hours that month (a good thing if you ask me). Our vacation system isn't bad but I could've sworn we accrue less # of days than SW, DL and UA in years 5-10 (but perhaps I'm mistaken).
Regardless of their value, 3 weeks of vaca is better than 2. We may be saying the same thing...
