LOL, no.

I'm saying that if that movie was a metaphor for APC, you would be in the center of the picture.

aahhh! I see, I see. BTW, I'm I would not classify myself as a teacher, but more as a game warden.

True, but those unstacked days must affect YOU. You can slide your vacation if you are senior to the unstacked days.

In other words, #1 in category can slide his vacation anywhere, because he cannot be unstacked.

You may not slide your vacation if:
1. Your vacation touches more that one month.
2. Your slid vacation may not be split by PBS pre-awards (training, recurrent, etc.)

Thank you vacation slide! Slid a useless December 9 vacation to Christmas week. 4 legs for all of December on reserve.

That's pretty funny, ACL. If my kid wasn't in (and texting me from?) school right now, it would be hilarious.

Just wondering what the coefficient of friction is between those twin towers. Then, would that be static or dynamic friction? Finally, would that answer be the Moo factor? Inquirering minds...

This wouldn't be a bad APCF L&G photo, but who is Lilith?





I see a lot we can work with here...

I'd say so. Or at least we automatically sell 3-4 days of our vacation back, for no money, for every week's worth we get.

IMO we don't need more vacation. Even the 5th week is rediculous in the context of the current value we currently recieve. We need better vacation time/credit worth more. At least 5 hours a day. If that means one less week per year or it takes more years to get extra weeks then so be it but the current system is aweful, particularly for reserves who effectlvely only get 3 days off per "week" of vacation because of the horrible level of credit it pays. Some want to bring the 6th week back and that would only give the problem more inertia and make it harder to fix. Even worse are the ones that cling to the idiotic notion of "touch drop" where guys could bid 12 day trips barely touching either end and get a month off for every week. Well guess who pays for that?

What weeks one gets for vacation is and should be a function of seniority. But we do not need to create a system where one's seniority can leverage a month off for each week while junior pilots (in category) only net a few extra days off for a "week".

We don't need more vacation days. We need more vacation credit per day.

Can't go wrong with the Star Wars bar scene either.



I mean hey, Star Wars works. They even have the MD-88s... the fastest piece of junk in the galaxy.



Fastest? Yes. Put the thing in vertical speed descent or speed OVRD... and then forget you did it. It'll be faster than everything around. If you put it VNAV, you'll miss everything you were aiming for. So pick your poison.
