You accrue vacation hours per month. With time of service you get more hours per month accrued. I believe we cap out at 160 hours of vacation (4 weeks).

Copy that. Thx freightdog. So it's safe to say the first year your looking at 1 week vacation and then slight increases after that. Check. I have a phone interview Monday so I am looking forward to joining the Ameriflight BE99 ranks.

Vacation time increases with tenure. After your first year, you'll accrue 2 weeks per year, then after 5 years, 3 weeks per year.

I'm sorry if this came up earlier, but I came up empty handed when I tried to search for this. I'm a 121 pilot (not SWA) and trying to see if I can Jumpseat on your airplane. On the APC profile, SWA is the only airline you guys have an agreement with, but it says you guys are a CASS participant. Can I can I not Jumpseat on your plane? And if I can, how do I go on about doing it?

No, you can't. I wish it were different but it likely never will be.

Two weeks year 1-5, three weeks years 5-10. It goes up to four weeks at some point when you become a lifer.

Used to be you were an "Amerilifer" after 5 years. Is it 10 now?

With the down economy a lot of us are still around here. I'm in the low 40's and only three from the first page. I never thought I'd get my 5-year pin, but I did. There's a number of us with over 3-5 years seniority.

OMA openings come up pretty frequently.

There has been an Open 99 slot in Texas for a while now.
