Real-world DEC Vacation Day Usage?
As a DEC with zero seniority (but 20 years of Part 121 "longevity match"... and it's associated bank of vacation days), what's the likelihood that 2 vacation days could be used each and every month?
The goal being to add 2 days off (each and every month) to the "standard" 12 days off that a junior DEC gets while on reserve.
Any current DEC's have any direct experience with this, please?
(Just trying to make sure that what the recruiters say syncs with what the schedulers will allow.)
Many thanks!

Appreciate the info though!
