Yea, I'm not asking RR guys and PC has been emailed.

Can you select slide and dts at the same time? What will happen if you do this and have two trips partially touching the front and back of your VC block?

They will slide your vacation forward or backwards to eliminate the bigger conflict...(most days you could DTS). then you would only be able DTS one or none since they ALWAYS slide first.

Fyi...dts can be covered by sick bank. Straight from the horses mouth.

How does a new hire still in training go about bidding for vacation?

ha ha ha ha...you haven't earned any vacation yet. welcome to envoy.

Vacation accrual year one is ZERO. Welcome!

These guys don't know what they are talking about. You bid it the same way everyone else bids for it. My envoy > flight> flight bid > vacation bidding 101.

You may only have a couple days of vacation but you get it. .58 days per month.

It accrues in one calendar year and is taken the next, meaning if you got hired September 1, you will accrue 4 months worth through December or 4 x .58 = 2.32. Don’t remember how partial months work out and how they round but you will have between 2-4 days next year depending on your hire date.

Partial months only count if you were hired before the 15th. After the months x .58 they round to the nearest whole number.

All new pilots hired in 2018 will be awarded at least 1 vacation day in 2019.

All of this is explained in the vacation bidding 101 document the company posted.
