Wonder if this is a play to get pilot group on board with selling back vaca. In my mind the only big argument for it is when you are jr in category (I am), you get crap weeks that mean nothing anyway. I stack trips such that I basically work a week on week off, vacation while kids are in school? Use some Ivd’s as mentioned, the rest just get in the way of adjusting my schedule.
before the hate posts come, I don’t think we should be able to sell back the vaca. The real answer is fixing vaca so we can all get at least a week of something decent.

It might also be worth mentioning to new hires that buying vacation days through the full service bank is another way of banking away hours at new hire pay and then drawing it out at the higher rate once second year pay is in effect.

Why we can’t use a 12n day is beyond me, I just know it didn’t work last summer. Couldn’t even put it in the request. No I didn’t call anyone.
