Regional Vacation Awards
How does your regional award master/yearly vacation? At SKYW the top guy can take as much as he has available before the next guy gets any and so on down the line. I have heard that other places the top guy gets a week then the next guy gets a week down to the bottom and then he top guy can take week # 2. Comments on how you like your system also appreciated. Thanks

It's done in rounds at Air Wisconsin. As in you only get 1 week of vacation awarded for the first round, then another week awarded in round 2, and so on. It's done that way to prevent exactly what you described where the top bidder gets every week of vacation he/she wants, and everybody else is left with trash by the time it gets to the bottom of the list. The most senior guys might not like it, but for guys towards the middle and bottom of the lists it's the best set up I can think of.

Air Wisconsin and ExpressJet have vacation trip touching drops. You'd never really need two weeks in a row. See what just happened? Work rules people!

PBS is coming whether you like it or not. Instead of thumping your chest like a monkey about it, better start thinking how to preserve an equivalent amount of vacation with PBS.
The company wants PBS bad...make them pay for it. The challenge will be the senior lifers...since PBS will make things even better for the top 20% (at the expense of everyone else) they will try to get all the junior ducks to line up for the company.

Unfortunately that's based on an archaic system and is headed the way of the dodo bird.

This is highly likely.
Instead of spouting off like an ignorant monkey, maybe you should educate yourself on the ASA PBS system and the vacation low/virtual credit option. It can be MORE lucrative than the XJT line bid/workrules that are in place. You see whats going on here? It's about work rules, NOT line bid vs. PBS.
So it's not nearly as easy as you state of being an archaic and outdated system. Again, educate yourself.
They want PBS bad, they ALSO want to get rid of the current way that the ASA PBS vacation system currently works.
