What’s the policy on vacation days? Amount & flexibility? Can you time your bid to end and then vacation to stack ontop of your time off?

You can “conflict bid” your vacation or your training.
Bid a line that either totally or partially overlaps your vacation.
Then you can do what they call a “vacation slide” which allows you to move your awarded vacation (week) so it covers a more beneficial part of your awarded line.

Its hard to explain without drawing it:
Lets say you get awarded a line which starts the 1st and ends the 17th.
So 1-17, your awarded vacation is 13-19, you can now slide it towards the beginning of the month, let’s say 10-17 or 7-14.
In the latter case you’ll get the last 3 days (14-17) awarded as they can’t use you by for anything as you need to travel, preduty rest and back before your day off starts.
So yes, if you have the base seniority you can’t finagle three weeks with one week vacation.

So I've had my application in since 2020 and applied again beginning of 2021 they are all under review as of March 30th. Attended meet and greets and no movement or word from the company. Do they send out a TBNT e-mail that I might have missed?

And years 1 through 5 you earn 2 weeks vacation a year. Your first year will be pro rated unless you are hired in January. Years 6 to 11 you earn 3 weeks. At 12 years you start earning 4 weeks.

When you get the ability to take your drug test, I would HIGHLY recommend you take it ASAP. Several people have had to delay their class date because the results did not come back quickly enough, and they won't let you start class without them.

Thanks. That’s my concern, it’s getting closer to the class date. When I called, I was told the company is waiting for Southern Air to merge fully. Hopefully I can get it done in time.

Call again. Southern Air doesn't exist anymore, we are all Atlas now.

New class on 11/15 had 9 747, 1 767, 3 777 hires. Pretty low numbers no matter the time of year. Ouch.

Definitely does not keep up with attrition. I’m afraid we are going to shrink to a smaller airline.
