You misunderstood. PTO at JB is for sick and PTO, not vacation. Vacation is indeed a separate bank. Although you can use PTO to buy additional weeks of vacation.

As for vacation, it is my opinion that we are about a week short on yearly vacation in each longevity band, but we get paid 35 hours per each week of vacation, which means in a month you have vacation you have about two days less flying to complete your line vs someone at another airline in a vacation month.

Of course I'd like to see more PTO accrual, another week of vacation per longevity block, and keep the 35 hours per week. And PROFIT SHARING.

PTO = sick + vacation. Not PTO = sick + PTO.

PTO is Paid Time Off

Am I stating it correctly?

PTO is paid time off. Can utilize for sick (if you don't want unpaid sick) or dropping trips. We also get V-PTO for our yearly vacation that is accrued separately from PTO each month.

Thank you for clarifying. I did indeed misunderstand your PTO system. As long as sick and vacation are separate, I’m cool with it…. 🤙

this. That’s why flyby should be MEC chair

🤣 🤮 I’d rather be based in SDQ

Yet, more allocation of PTO and V-PTO is needed.

we can make that happen. With your ALPA pay we can get you a nice place.

Our quarterly MEC meeting will happen at the Adrian Tropical restaurant. Good luck playing Frogger to get across the street. Bring $5 to pay-off the pushy locals trying to shake you down for money.

No argument from me on that part….
