But I love GS, but I go min credit and/or drop down to ALVish and then sharp shoot a GS and end up working less and making more or make more for the same amount of time at work.

Not bad for an Auburn guy. You figure that out all by yourself?

I don't like the idea of vacation pay/no credit. That's a new precedent. What good is vacation if you still have to work the same? Anyhow it seems only progress being made is us conceding.

I have yet to hear justification for a vacation day being worth less than a day at work. It makes it really hard to call it a "paid vacation."

Maybe Sections 7. E. Adjustments and Postponements and 7.F. Cancellation of Vacation were used, but I'm not sure.

So they give me a week off, which I generally get most months by grouping trips, then make me fly ALV??? What good is that? Good for more sick leave use is what it's good for.

That is a great observation.

My point in asking that was that I have seen a lot of guys saying things like "we needd to be protected from ourselves". I disagree. If we do get vacation sell back and a lot of guys use it then is it not something that a majority of giuys want? To blanketly say 'no' to this is a minority imposing their will.

I personally don't like it, because it stagnates the international widebody movement but hey, whatever the group wants.
