Anthony Bourdain said Accra was his favorite dining destination...in the world. He liked the beer, the "Chop Houses" and various other dining establishments. If you don't get malaria, we expect a full report.

If you are converted on 31jan2012, depending on how many weeks vacation you have, you will bid them in January (unless you have more than 2 weeks). The relevant section of the contract is section 7. Here is part of it:

7. A pilot who:
a. converts into another category pursuant to:
1) an advance entitlement or voluntary displacement:
a) will be notified via DBMS to re-bid his unused vacation period(s) through the vacation move-up process.
b) will change any previously awarded and unused vacation period(s) through the vacation move-up process.
c) may be assigned an available vacation period, in inverse seniority order, if he does not change his previously awarded and unused vacation period(s) through the vacation move-up process.
2) a mandatory displacement, may retain his previously awarded unused vacation period(s).

I am an AE, converting to the new NYC 320 base in Feb, when they say it will (or might?) officially open. It looks to me like I will be one of the first to convert in the category, so I guess it doesn't matter a hill of beans. If I bid vacation in my old position, and have to rebid, I'll be at the top of the heap.
Secondary question: how much do you get paid if you are in training the entire month?

I tebow that you will come to realize that.

I join with 80 to Tebow for you to see the errors of your ways. See I don't gossip. I just Tebow out loud and if you over hear me, that's your problem. I was over here reading my VOL 1 and Tebowing.
