Question regarding vacation for the UAL pilots:
What is the reasoning that vacation runs May-April instead of the calendar year? Maybe I'll understand the logic behind it if someone can explain it clearly. It's not a slam against that way. It's just not something I'm used to and one of the other things I don't like in the contract.
That being said, one side or the other was going to have to change the method of bidding for and allocation of vacation. I'm sure it would have created some questions for you all if it had gone to our calendar year bidding method, too.
So please, just some constructive explanations to this new method. Thanks.

Vacation gets cancelled for things like transition training, so it drops into unassigned and can be used for trip drops etc.
It's all the same, just different.
