i got my third vacation choice! :D

which is kind of easy to get when you ask for mid September off. why aim high?

Sounds about right.:D

Congrats. Got my first choice, first week of September. Wife it tickled since it's our 20th anniversary. With 2 positive space tickets to use and friends getting stationed on Kauai this spring = Wife happy, me happy:) Just might make more than I spend on the vacation.

Book those PS NOW!!!! I booked a trip to Europe 310 days in advance... At 220 days in advance the available "one great team" seats were long gone..

Is there a penalty if you change the ticket?
Just found the answer in FAQ, $100 to make a change or cancel.

I was initially amazed and happy that I got a week of summer vacation when my whole crowd is out of school. Then I started to realize how much that's going to cost me:eek::eek:

It could easily get in the air (location and financial status depending). Did a three week "deployment" helicopter swap out from Spain to Afghanistan where we had three tails constantly in the air. Guys in the squad wanted to make the 0-6 who thought it up look really smart, so whenever in the gray area we were going. 98 percent launch rate.

I ended up with the ever desirable middle Oct vacation. :eek: Couldn't even hold my usual ~Aug16 vacation for our anniversary.

Perhaps it'll be a good time to take the little one to Germany for his first experience of beer.

Looks like I didn't get any of my choices and was awarded both my vacation weeks during the primary awards, what a crock!!!! I'm beyond ****ed and wish there was something I could do, but knowing ALPA and Delta they will both send me to the other and or say it was my own fault for mot bidding enough choices.
In my eyes it shouldn't matter if I bid for one week or multiple as my only choice was for one of my weeks in the summer months, which I got although it wasn't one of my choices. Man I'm ****ed, I got burned last year b/c I only had 13 days and couldn't split them...learned it the hard way...now this BS
rant over

Get to know the vacation move up process. Just put in the bids now so you don't forget. Unfortunately for you, we keep our vacations so there probably won't be as many weeks available to move up to. Good luck.
