A junior pilot bidding at 100% shouldn’t be able to get Christmas Vacation or 4th of July vacation just because they are friends with the number 1 person. That is violating seniority.
What if people could trade vacancies? The person about to retire will give their Captain spot to their new hire friend….

not sure what that has to do with my question? Do Alaska pilot have to actually bid and use all of their vacation in a year? Or is the question to confusing for you to understand? Much like how you don’t understand why your schedule sucks as a junior captain in a senior base.

So, by that logic, our number 1 pilot wouldn't be able to p2p trade anything, trips or vacation because someone junior to them would get it? Actually how does any pilot to pilot trade work under that standard? Someone junior is going to get something that someone senior held in any trade of anything. Personally, I think that once you held something with your seniority, it's yours. Fly it, trade it, drop it, call in sick for it. It's not anyone's business what you do with it.
Do Alaska pilots sell their vacation to each other? $500 and I’ll trade you my 4th of July vacation.

There’s no way to stop it and I wouldn’t spend any energy trying to. It’s cringe when I see those posts. $100 to pick up my trip (that pays $3,000). What are we flight attendants? It’s unprofessional to accept money from someone to take their flying.

Seemed like a win/win. How is that anyone else's business? Especially since this is the opposite of the vacay situation... I didn't specifically bid for a xmas trip in hopes of having to pay to get rid of it
And it was more than $100, even way back then.
