Vacation question
Paid vacation is paid vacation, right? So, if I want MAX $$$, bid a line that does not conflict with my vacation days, that way I'll get paid for a line AS WELL AS my vacation, right?
If I want more days off, then bid a line that conflicts with vacation days, right?

True...kinda. The company will only buyback a MAX of 40% of your total available vaction hours for the year.
Go to VIPS --> Activities --> Bank balances
Check your Vacation bank max buyback.
If you want max $$$ only have your vacation conflict with a small trip and then fly the rest.

My personal opinion is to use all of your Vacation Bank that you can. You get the money in your pocket now, as opposed to letting the company sit on it until the end of the year. You can always fly DFT/VLT/MU on your days off if you want to maximize your $$$. Or work another job, beg on the street, plunder and loot...whatever you fancy.

The company will buy back 40% of your vacation each year, assuming no other variables like vacation cancellations. The max buy back is the number of hours that equals 40% of your total vacation hours for the year.
To maximize your earnings, use up 60% of your vacation, leaving the other 40% in your bank till the end of the year, and then they will pay you for those hours.

No you only use vacation when it conflicts with a trip. No conflict no vactaion use. A 78 hour line will pay 78 hours. How much of that is vacation depends on how much you conflict. December is a bad time to figure this out. But, you can blame it on Bush.
