You can buy vacation days using the bank, although I can't figure out how to do it. Would love some help. Seems pretty straightforward--options 3 and 4. But I keep getting a "not eligible" when I try to do it. If you have PB days and use them for nothing else, they convert to vacation at the end of the year (is the short version). |

I disagree. It depends on your seniority. I am jr in category and I can’t get summer vacation nor do I get the best schedules. So I use my APD and IVDs to create summer vacations where they did not exist. I will create the time off I need then WS on my other off days. So far this summer through the creative use of these and the open board I have gone from being awarded schedules working almost every weekend to having most my weekends of and creating some vacation windows.
It does take effort to make it happen but knowing the rules as a jr guy is a definite must for QOL. Denny |

If you have PB days and use them for nothing else, they convert to vacation at the end of the year (is the short version). After March 31st it’s by “mutual agreement” with the company. So you have to get it approved. Which basically means no. Just do it when vacation bidding starts next year. There’s a good description of the process in the Scheduling Reference Handbook. |
Did I read that critical flight ops update correctly? 806 pilots rerouted? Yikes. Let’s try to fix reroutes in the next contract.

I have two weeks vacation in November that I want to slide (to over THanksgiving naturally) Can that be done (requested) now, or do I have to wait until bidding for November?
