As I recall, you accrue it the first year but use it in the next year. Our vacation year begins in April...not really sure why. The bids for next year open in January.

You will accrue vacation for use in the April 2011 to March 2012 year. It is pro rated for months of service. It is in the PWA.

That ought to be an interview question ;-)

Look up Huff Daland Dusters.
Their working season began in April.

So it sounds basically like ours. if you start 6 months through the vacation year, Basically in September, you should get half the vacation allotment for next years bid. Which i think i heard it said it is 14 days so we would get 6 days to bid on? Oh what is the credit for those days. Hopefully more than the 3 hours a day i get now

. Thanks again guys as always.

Our vacation sucks, I wouldn't worry about missing out on it. I'd just assume not even having it, it can cost you a line. If you have 5 weeks it might be okay but 2 weeks is almost a nuisance.

Actually,

A HUMONGOUS 3:15 per vacation day and the same goes for recurrent (less than a reserve gets and certainly less than our duty and trip rigs) when you get to do that.

Are you sure about the 3:15? I had it in august and am almost positive it only showed 3:00/day on my time card. I'll check.

Cheer up mate! Let's get these newbies started on the right foot with a smile.

Welcome on board everyone! ACL is right on; If you started class today you would have roughly 6 days of vacation for the 2011 bid. Vacation is worth 21 hours or 3hr/day.

FYI on vacation: As a new hire you'll get whatever days they decide to assign you unless you call the vacation scheduler. If you call you may be able to get something more desirable. Granted, you're at the bottom so you likely won't have much to choose from, but it doesn't hurt to see what you have to choose from.
