Gotta hand it to them - and the Boston guys - they don't give up!

Some “Top Men” info leaking out on Facebook. Sounds like bid in June will be the big one now. 😂.

stolen from FB so take it for what it's worth:
777 atl
350 more
76400 more
330 more in dtw, jfk, sea.
7er “adjustment “
737 more
320 more

Sounds like effective distraction from mediation.....

It seems like half the fleet of -220s RON there nightly...I guess we can dream. ;)

Buy vacation days
 

This seems as good of a place to ask this question as any since it's been discussed recently:

How do you buy vacation days? I see on a page in iCrew under Bank that there's an option. Does the option appear after all vacation has been bid for the coming year? Because as of right now, I don't see the option for the primary vacation week we just completed bidding for. I do see an option to buy days for the vacation remaining from last year's bid. Not that it's very clear on that page. Is there a resource one can go to for further explanation? I searched under Crew Resources and didn't see any help guides that explained how to buy additional days.

Side note: The search feature on this forum did show some posts on this topic, but when you click on the hyperlink the post the page that comes up is not the one that was shown in the search. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, because that has been my experience in the past for a lot of searches.

Yes you buy them using the full service bank. It’s option 3 or something like that. You don’t have to attach them during the actual vacation bidding process. As long as you do it before the next vacation year starts (April 1) you can place them once you have your vacation awards from each round.

I like to wait until I see all my weeks and then just call or email crew planning to place the days. As you probably already know there are a couple restrictions in December & January, otherwise you can attach them wherever you want.

Type “vacation” in the Deltanet search bar and a pdf should come up with details, unless they’ve pulled it down from past years.

You can buy vacation for the next vacation year now. It’s option 3. They will pin the weeks to one of your awarded weeks (I’m not sure which one, but it doesn’t matter). You can call and have them move them to it the beginning / end The vacation period or a different period all together.

You can also add banked vacation days to a vacation bid (and / or add supp days) when you submit your bid. You can add days to the front and / or back end. Use the 12N lines on initial bid page (for SVAC right now)

Remember, right now buying extra days is automatic.However, once next years vacation year starts, you can only buy extra days the month prior and by approval of the company (which means it won’t be approved).

Hope this helps.
