Question for the smart ones..
With an effective date of March 1, does that mean training completed by then? If so including IOE?
The reason I ask is I have a week vacation in each month Dec-Apr. Plus a cruise paid for in Dec for the whole family. Was thinking of upgrading to Capt but don't want to lose 5 weeks of vacation, or risk my cruise in Dec.
Last question, what happens to lost vacation? 401k?
Thoughts? And Thanks

You will likely lose your vacation so you have to weigh the risk of trying to avoid training in December. Carlson is pretty good about answering questions like that. Any vacation you lose becomes available for monthly bidding. The catch is...you won’t have time to do monthly bidding before the vacation year ends. That lost vacation will be paid out into your PRAP without the 16% from company.

Thanks for the reply, I guess I'll wait for the Dec bid.

How about a lateral move? Is it effective in march or do they allow a faster transfer?

The vacancies on the snapshot in unadvertised categories (i.e. LAX 320 CA) are projected backfills.....correct?

If a category goes below the MIN #, then backfills occur including unadvertised categories.
