I’m just shy of 2 years at U and have only worked ONE major holiday - my very first Thanksgiving. That’s it. I could also have all weekends off if that is something I truly cared about. Mainly it’s only during FB season or certain times of the year I prioritize it, otherwise I get the overnights and flying I enjoy.

As for vacation? I don’t know. Every base and fleet bids differently. One base/fleet might have more options or weeks available than others etc. no idea. I’ve only bid once. I bid the week I needed in December for a cruise I had already had planned and got that. I randomly was awarded Feb for my 2nd week as I didn’t care what happened after that. Our next years annual vacation bid opens soon.

My awarded schedule for Jan is 19 days off. This is NB Airbus. I’m not a WB FO. I’m roughly 50% total in base. I fly three 4 days this month.
