All vacation is 7 days starting Sun. There are caveats to duration and start days.

Learn how to use Individual Vacation days and vacation rebid and slide. You can drastically improve your vacation. Also you can always drop without pay or bid reserve and stack off days into some “vacation” time. Lots of ways to get the time you need.

This is not true.......in my category anyway. Coverage “awards” and Min Reserve Days generally prohibit this especially weekends or holidays. YMMV.

I have always received 1-2 weeks late aug/early sep. I haven’t had issues.

Which category? 12+ years at Delta and I’ve never been awarded a JUN-AUG vacation. I bid that as primary every year. This year I’m above 50% and thought for sure this would be it but it’s a leap year so vacations were all gummed up.

I have gotten summer vacation since year 2, I also never left the 88.
