Who cares if there’s more actual vac days if they pay sub 4 credit each. You need to do the math on credit * days. The only carrier that’s better in vac currently is Alaska and that’s after 25 years. UAL for example, they have problems in vac months because the solver blocks thier vac days and awards sub 23 credit. What do you think the rest of the bid period looks like? We need a fifth week and that’s about it. No other changes please.
Our vacation day is 5 hours (35 hrs for 7 days). We're also allowed to assign less or more value prior to bidding to gain less or more flying hours that month (a good thing if you ask me). Our vacation system isn't bad but I could've sworn we accrue less # of days than SW, DL and UA in years 5-10 (but perhaps I'm mistaken). Regardless of their value, 3 weeks of vaca is better than 2. We may be saying the same thing... |

Look at the contract comparison. Multiple credit times vac days. That’s the economic value of our vacation sec. The provisions that go along with that are all fairly similar and don’t add much if any expense. The only economic value thats higher than ours is Alaska after 25 years. Of course that’s assuming payrates are all equal. Next year dl will exceed after 15 years due to their 5th week along with a credit bump. But dl tops at sub 5 credit so we add a 5th week and we’re back on top. Jb is the only other 5 credit but I believe they accrue days at a slower rate.
Good to know. |
