Default global reserve question about vacation

If you are a global reserve and you get 6 HDO's a month, does that change in a vacation month?

If you have 14 days of vacation do you still get 6 HDO's?. What about total days off to bid?

I don't want to break PBS (denial mode).

its prorated... look at the end of the PBS bidding guide and it has a proration table... based on a 30 or 31 day month.

It's in the contract as well. Section 5-E-5

In short, no you won't. IIRC, you'll get 3 or 4 HDO days depending on wether it's a 30 or 31 day month.

I got 5 HDO days this month with one week of vacation. They also still gave me my FDO day. I'm not a fan at all of counting my vacation days towards my min days off for the month.

Agreed.....this needs to change in the next contract.

In my first year, my week of vacation was assigned entirely into my days off. So I got no extra days off that month.

So when you "change" this in the next contract, make sure it's retro and I get my week of pay from my first year. Otherwise I won't support this change at the expense of other things - like pay rates.

When do you retire? I hope it's very soon.

ya know, I read a lot of posts by folks who are apparently junior whining about having to be near the airport on reserve and about having vaca days overlap days off etc etc
and I can't help myself jumping in and pointing out how silly it sounds. because, yes, it sucks to be junior in a seniority-based career. and some geniuses get on forums from their crash pads and think it's logical to assert that the pains of being junior "need to be fixed in the next contract" even though all of airline history tends to show that yes it sucks to be junior.
anyway.. all the crashpad sitters can jump back online and blast away. enjoy
