It's actually 13 days off for each vacation slot you get. May be waived.

Even better.....thanks!

Is there a fixed extended day rate or is that "negotiable"?

The company sets overtime rates when they email asking for volunteers usually 1.5 or 2X usual rate but I know people have been contacted by dispatch on their go home day and been asked to extend and have negotiated a rate on the spot depending on how desperate they are to cover a trip. Just don’t go crazy, if you don’t want to do the trip then say no I need to go home rather than saying something like I’ll do it for 5X. They remember stuff like that and if you keep your side reasonable I know of a couple of instances where people have had 1.5 rates bumped for 2X or something along those lines.

If your extending for 1.5 then your missing out on a lot of money. The standard is 2.5 this month and can easily get 3x if you ask plus you can negotiate travel only on your last day if you extend. I was home on my travel only day at 8:30am getting 2.5x.

Also Praetor… volunteered a lot of extra days this month for the “2.5x” incentive pay and didn’t get used once… :rolleyes:

Is there a seat lock for Phenom captains? If so, how long is that?

Let’s say you’re in the Challenger, and take a Phenom upgrade, how long is the seat lock in the Phenom?
