Indeed so, and I wrote my reps about it immediately. The Company cannot unilaterally liquidate vacations that conflict with a pilot's qualification training. Should he desire to keep his vacation and delay his training, and only if there is no other pilot who can take his original training slot, he may rebid the vacation for later in the vacation year or he may choose to have that vacation liquidated.

This was the key to the last contract I tried to show everyone. Now it's too late. Now this will create a staffing problem for which they are already behind on. Now we can't get higher rates either because it looks bad. So where to now.

That too. But it's tempting to throw stones when they put themselves out to be nearly perfect, which got me leaning negative in the first place. That said, I believe I've tempered my negativity over the past year+. I'm trying. I'm trying real hard.

Not quite 100% accurate. It is 6:00/day vacation and most duty periods, however they do not get it for training and some duty periods do not qualify for the 6:00; I don't understand all their rigs and rules, but I know that much.
Still, I'd like to see 5:15 for us and an eventual increase up to 6:00 (for everything)

Not our problem. Green-slips for all my friends. We fly aircraft. management runs the company. If they are behind on staffing then that should be better for us.
With that said, this management team seems to be doing pretty good, which is also a big plus for the Pilot group. If staffing issues bend the profit margin down which I would rather not see, we will just have to make the most of it and enjoy a very "green" summer.
C-2012 is behind us. Yes, we must learn from each section 6, improve upon them, not make the same mistakes going forward, but fixating on what might have been is a waste of time.
