Vacation and sick days are something the teamsters have done right at Netjets. I get 3 weeks vacation, which comes up to 21 days off in a row, and I can use 7 of my 12 sick days for the same result. That means every 3rd month, I get 21 days off. Not to bad, average of 12.45 days of work a month.
Also for me, Add in 3 weeks off training every year (2 aircraft recurrents and 1 company recurrent) that I take my wife and baby to, and I still have 5 sick days to burn in case I ever do get sick.
When that 4 th week comes, I will be working an average of 11.86 days a month. Not too shaby, I would be curious to see per day pay, compared with Options, even with our current crappy scale.
