For the most part the DCI guys are doing very similar flying to what the junior pilots on narrow body equipment at perform and in many cases, it is the exact same flying.

When you are bidding for vacation you only have to pick the start date. If you want two weeks that start in September and go into October, just pick the week that starts as close to your desired day as possible. Then put a 2 in the next box to designate 2 weeks. Don't worry about the start date of the second week, it will be attached to your first week. It will be difficult to get a secondary vacation anywhere close to what you want if you as choosing a popular week. Most of the summer weeks and end of year weeks are gone after the primary vacation bids.

Could someone please explain why there are 4 vacation bids? I read the vacation bidding guide and maybe I am missing a very simple concept. If I have 2 weeks of vacation and want one in summer and one in fall, do I bid 1 week on primary and one on secondary? Or do I bid both on primary????

If you want to split the 2 weeks, then you have to bid only for one week on the primary vacation bid. If you are senior enough or bid for a less popular week, you will most likely get that week. Then on the secondary bid, you will bid for the other week. As I stated before, you are less likely to get the week you want on the secondary.
