Default Vacation in first year

I've seen in the handbook that new hires cannot take vacation in their first year. Is that based off cadet hire date or on property start date?

I think you accrue vacation, you just cant use it for 6 months..

You don't have any to use in that first year, and you don't begin accruing until property start date.

Can you combine your vacation with days off? Let's say you have 3 days off/4 on/3 off, you take 4 days of vacation so you have 10 days off in total?

SkyWest used Embraer sims in Paris back in 2015.

There are sim instructors who commute and some of them prefer the sims that provide per diem and hotel plus the deadhead pay. STL, CVG, ATL? Sure. CDG… depends on your tolerance for time zone changes.

Some good questions being asked on vacation time. Can someone give us new hires a run-down on how much vacation time is accrued and how it works for the first year or two? I just spent 25 mins searching and it didn’t produce an informative picture. Thanks!

unless you get approved for a vacation drop, no.

PBS will fill in trips or reserve around your vacation to make sure you don’t get any usable chunks of time off.

If true, are you just getting paid for extra hours that month but not actually getting any extra time off?
