resurrecting this thread from the dead.
I used to email Lynn Ivey to add those supplemental vacation days. It appears she took the retirement this year.
Does anyone else have a good contact/email for moving extra vacation days? Crew Resources?
Thanks

Another variation regarding Vacation Slide for the hive mind. looked in the PWA and SRH, but didn't see this particular issue addressed. I recently returned from LTD, so had my vacation days prorated. I was able to get a 'partial week' during Thanksgiving, but as fate would have it, not including Thursday.
I have never used vacation slide. Is it safe to assume you can slide your days within a partial week? After all, I had the seniority to hold Thanksgiving week off, just didn't have 7 days of vacation to get the actual day.
Or is vacation move-up a better option to move these days? I guess the advantage would be finding out earlier if the move was approved? TIA

You might also be able to buy an additional day or two to tack on to the end of what you have to guarantee it off now.

In their defense, apparently their version of the VEOP devastated the back-end folks in Flight Ops, leaving those remaining to pick up the smoking pieces and doing multiple jobs they weren't really trained for. It's apparently a mess. I actually feel bad for the worker bees.
Can you believe I got a response back within 1 day? Turkey day off.
You are correct, I feel bad for the merit employees. Left dealing with a huge experience and manpower vacuum.
