I’m happy with spring and fall vacations but the fact that I still can’t get one and will probably upgrade without ever getting summer vacation is a sign of something sick going on here. SWAPA is kinda like your favorite political party. They say they love you. They’re suppose to love you. You pay them to love you and they do love you, when it’s convenient for them to do so.
I have never held a summer week on a bid, even as a lance captain.
If everybody could get what they can hold initially, this wouldn't be near as bad an issue. Senior daddies and mamas get Christmas, thanksgiving, and 3 other weeks of their choosing. I know I personally am on the cusp of being in a season of my life where I no longer want summer vacations. If I had my choice in 2027, it would probably be alternating December and April weeks so I could go to Europe with the family and enjoy my holidays. Summer vacations suck. They are for people who have no other choice. Besides, I never am wanting for time off.
