It looks like you only get 2 days off in addition to your vacation? Is this correct for a total of 7, 9 or 11 days off in a row max? Keep in mind PBS probably has a minimum number of hours you need to be awarded so you will not be able to get 2 weeks or more off in a row. Unless I am missing something that PBS will allow for Spirit that it did not for the last airline I worked with PBS.

2nd point - I saw nothing or missed the part in the TA that covers minimum days/hours worked?? When dropping with red and green is there a threshold you can not go below or is the same as now that you can drop as much as red/green allows?

You’re missing a lot. I suggest watching the video. You’ll have no fewer than 9 off consecutively and more depending on how many vacation hours you choose to use. Use max hours, the slide showed 22 days off. Now, that doesn’t necessarily guarantee they’ll be in a row, but neither does our current contract.

Drop as much as you want (line holder)

Not with the PBS I am familiar with. There was a limit of around 60 hours you must work each month so you can not drop below the company designated limit! Therefore no long vacations or dropping your trips below the minimum and rebuilding more favorable schedules? If this information is out there please share.

- I watched the vacation video and it did see answers to the previous questions?

It was in the pbs loa video. My bad for the wrong direction.

The chart in the PBS video was titled "Consecutive Days" IIRC.

So, sounds like you will still be able to line up 22 days off in a row.
