2nd yr fo xjt: ytd compensation for me is 26,900... I did not work over my vacations. went to ireland for a week, took two other separate week long vacations, but live in base.

Very possible to make bank here but you have to work the system. To the guy who said only three of his flights have been cancelled here... where the hell are you based? You can trash newark all you want but it is a friggin goldmine with our contract. If you dont expect to be home on the last day on time you will save yourself a boatload of stress but better yet pick up a trip starting early the next day, get a domicile rest issue and keep the RA day + pay.
