how many vacation days to pilots get
Depends on the individual airline's contract. For example, I got a whopping three days this year, but it's because I didn't work a full year last year. When you only work a partial year, your vacation time here is based on full months of service. Next year I'll get 5 days, the year after that I'll get 10.The guys that have been here a while get 3 weeks.That being said, there are ways to extend that WAAAAY past what you actually get awarded. get 42 days per year. All pilots get that from day one. Similar to others it's pretty easy to add days off on both ends to make for longer stretches in a row. Best I've done is 35 in a row using 24 days of vacation.
