Vacation/Holiday, how much do you get?
I was just wondering how other pilots do for holiday time. I've heard that in the US the pay can be great but you only get 2 weeks off a year. Does anyone out there working for the US majors give me an idea if this is true?
Also heard you get some real good travel benefits such as free travel for family and extra buddy passes that you can dish out to friends.
Here in the UK I fly 757/767 for a large charter company called Britannia and we all get 6 weeks off per year. This seems pretty good if the US 2 weeks is correct.
