You can use vacation time for a sick call. You just have to tell crew support that is what you want to do.

If I don't have any user time, do they automatically take vacation time, or do I just not get paid for the trip?

You aren't growing the fleet though are you, just replacing older airframes, no?

You just don't get paid for your trip.

I'm not sure what happens when you go below 58 hours for the month. They may want to use vacation to bring you up to the minimum hours required.

YOU can use vacation time. THEY cannot, unless you ask them to.

If you have no user left, you don't get paid but your vacation is untouched. If you prefer to get paid, you can burn the vacation.

Vacation is always under your control. On that note, NEVER cash out vacation (the company offers that each year)...ask your CA why not.

It's going to take longer than one month to move the sims. Also we don't have any more planes coming, that plays a big factor for now.

No more 175s after the last 5 are delivered for United? That will definitely slow things down quite a bit for new hires --- particularly with the number of CRJ pilots switching over.

There are still a few Delta and Alaska 175s to be delivered as well.
