More questions for Skywest Dispatchers

Jeez dude, you need medication? I never said I worked for your company or that I knew how the "system" works. You are the one putting lipstick on a pig, whatever floats your boat.

Nevermind, sorry about making you feel like I was putting words in your mouth, but I think I explained fairly clearly on how my user hours and vacation hours accumulate and how I can utilize them to extend my overall vacation time(time away from work with pay).
"Sure, you can use the flex time as you wish but to call it vacation is wrong because you don't count vacation into your sick time." Maybe you don't but I sure do. Like I said, anytime I'm away from work and getting paid for it, either by being sick in bed watching a movie(rare)/sleeping or catching a flight somewhere for a few days, I consider it a vacation from work. Peace out.

I agree with you 100%, we work for our time away from our 40. What we do the rest of the time is our life. (Although there are those that feel work is their life. They have not yet seen the light.)

my question would be then if someone was going to interview for a job where you work what would the answer be when the dispatcher asked what his/orher vacation accrual is per year.

I understand that however you can get time off with pay then by all means take it. If you use your personel / sick time to add time for vacation what happens when that person gets sick and no time in the kitty. would that be time off with out pay ?

We work a 4 on 3 off and we are able to swap shifts to give more time off. I guess it's all in how you look at what the company gives you
