We get 12 days a year..... (Roughly) so you've been saving a while.

That's it? Well I haven't even been here two years, so I couldn't use vacation my first year and I saved up all my vacation from year two. I worked my butt off to save vacation. I was awarded two weeks of vacation and then I saw a third week was available adjacent to my original vacation so I bid it and got it.

I averaged95 hours of credit in 2016. 3 hours a month of vacation, that's about what we accrue. So 2 years of 3 a month is about 72 hours. We'll call 3 hours per day of vacation that's 24 days. Hence why you were able to do that. But your bank is nearly depleted after it.

you were awareded it because it was open. you will only keep it IF the month before you have enough time accrued to cover all the days. Read your manual homey. if you dont have enough time accrued they will take days off the end of your requested time.

Are you guys talking about your vacation bank and user bank? I thought as a line holder you could use vacation minimum 2.5 hrs? Obviously, you probably wouldn't break credit that month but maybe vacation was more important.

That's how I interpreted it. Vacation time with user time with golden days seemed to be a fair amount of vacation time a year...that is considering to a normal job with 10 days off.

I wish I hadnt ever taken vacation time and cashed it in at captain rates.
+60-70% overnight

3 hours a month is a joke.
Or is it the punch line to the 401k?

Golden Days are not extra days off.
Heck with PBS taking a week vacation can in the end get you more block hours than normal.
