Yes it is, according to the Contract comparison guide that our MEC put together. Take a look at the ‘annual vacation days per longevity year’ slide. It clearly shows NK’s is better. For example, JBs acrrual goes to 21 days of vacation at year 10 longevity, NK at year 6, etc.
It doesn’t matter. You can have a week vacation and still fly more. Your vacation time is worth less than JB and you accrue less “sick” time which isn’t as versatile as JB. You can also sell back unused PTO at JB. |

it matters to me. I’d take 21 days of vacation at 4 hours/day (NK at year 6 for example) vs 14 days at 5 hours/day (JB at year 6). Btw, we can cash vacation time at NK.

35 per week.
a week of vacation at JetBlue is worth 35 hours. Spirit min guarantee is 72 hrs so the company has to find you 42 hours of flying for the month JB min guarantee is 70 hrs so the company only has to find 35 hrs of flying, yielding more days off in a vaca month. spirit accrues 5 hrs of sick time per month JB accrues 6 hours of PTO per month thats 12 hrs less time or roughly 2.5 less sick days per year. if spirit pilots choose to sell the sick time they have, they sell it at a $30/hr discount to JB pilots. |

Credit means more than weeks under PBS (vs line bidding). The biggest improvement B6 needs for vacation is more steps (and earlier steps) of vacation increases. It’s ridiculous that you need to be here basically 11 years to get your 3rd week and 21 years to get your 4th week.
