I am up to 5 weeks and like to actually use my vacations even if they are in the winter. Kids have winter break and other days off I try and match up with vacation. I can always find something to do that I enjoy more than work over a vacay.
Disclaimer. I do typically get my first choice for summer vacation. I also understand that many pilots don’t get even a week in the summer and that needs to change. (Thank goodness for IVD). I just cringe when I see that just because a vacation is in the winter, that the sellback word pops up.

12 years at Delta and no summer vacation. I thought this would be the year but... PD, IVD and APD are the only way anyone below 20% relative seniority is getting one. The reduction this year was the most drastic of the last 10. And to think we had massive KLOAs in the summer of 18. This is treating your people right? Just wait until contract time. Oh, that’s right. 😏

So, with 12 years did you chose to bid into the bottom 20% in category ?......if so, why? Do you know QOL is directly related to senority....ie BES? ....there are wide body FO weeks available on the 777 in ATL in May,Jul, and Aug and in Lax in Jun and Aug....alas the 350B are sold out in Jun, Jul, and Aug....don't bid that if you are gonna be uber junior ......JMHO
