7 and 7, underlined dates are work days.
Can you be awarded vacation weeks of the 15-21 and 12-18 (blue)?

If you bid the 15-21 and 29-4th do you only get 5 weeks off, losing a week, of will they not award back to back weeks off?

Thanks, now I'm even more confused. Gonna go hire a lawyer to interpolate that. I did understand the no less than 35 days off for two consecutive weeks that's about it.

I can figure it out, The main reason that I posted this was for anyone thinking about coming to work here would have an idea of how vacations work :beer:

So, if anyone thinking about NJA, for 2 consecutive weeks vacation you'll have 35 to 42 days off, not a bad deal.

The Blue Book explains it a little clearer. Short answer to your question: Yes, you can do your vacations either way, assuming you are awarded the bid. If you bid the two blue weeks of vacation, that's fine, but you're going to be working the red week.

You can't bid more than two weeks of vacation consecutively; that's really the main restriction.

Sorry NJA, I thought you were posing a question.

Well, at least it got me to do a bit of reasearch on the issue. You can never know your contract well enough, its good for me to brush up.

Thanks for the info CA1900

Anyone considering NJA, you get 2 weeks vacation starting the first year.

I've been at NJA for almost 7 months. When I log onto crewops, it shows
sick days but no vacation. I thought you don't get any vacation until
after one year of service. May be someone could clarify this.

Vacation year begins 01JUL and end 30JUN, you're building vacation time, 1.166 days per month, but you won't be able to bid it for a couple more months when are vac bid period opens, if you started 01JUL you will have 2 weeks vacation that you can bid for the period beginning 01JUL07 thru 30JUN08.

If you would've started today than you would still be building vac time, but would only have about 6 days that you could use for the vac year starting 01JUL.

so lets say you got 5 weeks vacation and i want to take 1 week per month for the first 5 months of the year. does this mean from jan to jun i will only be working one week every month?

We get 2 weeks vac from year 1 to year 5
3 weeks from 5 to 10
4 weeks from 10 on, never get 5 weeks vacation.

You have your thinking wires all crossed up, the reason we get 3 weeks off per 1 week vacation is that we work 7 days on followed by 7 days off, this means if you use one weeks vacation you have 21 days off.
