While we are at it... Vacation weeks run Sunday to Saturday. I have a full week of vacation, but no weekend off due to coverage awards this month.
Why can't they be some weekday to weekday combination where we get the weekend off.
Normal 9 to 5 M-F jobs a week of vacation is actually 9 days in a row off for most jobs.

This isn’t a 9-5 job. The airline operates 365 days per year. Did you know vacation slide came from Northwest after the merger? Vacation slide was the answer for your complaint. Being junior enough to be affected by coverage awards sucks because you’re really junior.

Not necessarily. I've seen the #1 in category get reserve coverage before. Admittedly that was a rare/niche situation, but I've seen top pagers get reserve coverage a fair amount. 12.M.5 is one of the items I put on the survey that needs an overhaul. I know, I know "reserve is a choice/for junior/it's supposed to suck."

Totally agree with this whole post. We are adults, given tremendous responsibility. A mistake at our job can instantly result in hundreds of deaths and hundreds of millions in cost to the company. And yet we are treated like we are in kindergarten, needing a bathroom pass to use the lav. Frankly, it's insulting, even knowing there are people who fully abuse the

Generally bid reserve. And usually being in the top 1/3 of RES shields me from coverage. But not always.
And I know this isn't a 9-5 but was just throwing out the average 9-5 wagie gets 9 days off in a row with a week of vacation and 16 with 2 weeks.

2 weeks vacation pays 64:10. If ALV is 74:10 or less, it gets me entire month off. Meanwhile it gets 9-5 person 16 days off.
