It seems that there must be a better way. Obviously the company keeps doing this because it is working for them. It may cost them money, but they get benefit of using us to get what they want in the meantime. It sounds like it is worth the cost to them.

Hopefully we will got more info, as I don't know what happened outside of the email.

I have been filling out ASRS forms since the courts decided that the ASAP info could be used in the 5191 court case.

I plan on finding out next week.

The table on page 13-7 of the contract, Furlough LOA under Retain Vacation, says yes(c). At the bottom of the table it reads: (c) A pilot may cash out his accrued vacation.

If anyone knows how to go about this w/o having to go on a wild goose chase, please chime in.
