If you are forced into a 145 CA slot which is what we are doing once you hit 950 hours and a vacancy bid rolls around then you are not seat locked for two years and can move into the 175 next round.

If you are dead set on the 175 go work somewhere that only has those.

If that's not an option, live in base and do reserve every other month. You will slow down your flight time accrual and still continue to collect seniority. Word of caution once you hit 800 hours the company will assign you flying and force you to fly on reserve.

-Keep the dirty side down

Does RF 100 VC2 submit via mobilefos or does it have to be copy and pasted on an email?

What does your HI10 say? That’s what shows what VC you have been awarded so far

I flew with at least one guy who did new hire sims in France.

I'm not sure where that VC accrual would fall.
There is a file listing everyone's vacation accumulation as of 30 October - is that VC showing there?
Being a pilot hired early October (iirc all 145 class cadet?) you'll get maybe two days of vacation next year per the contract and loa. Other vacay time from before being a pilot is between you and hr.
