6) Can you "mil vacation" drop? What is it worth?
Mil leave is like a silver bullet for those in the Military. Drop all your crappy unproductive time and early morning departures AND most important; always have holidays off. Don't worry, your fellow pilot reserve, will always cover it. If management questions your mil leave, just have you buddy, the squadron Commander, who also works for an airline, cut you a set of orders or run interference for you when asked any questions by your chief pilot or flight manager.
At least that's how it works at UAL
