[QUOTE="alligator_suede, post: 1418608, member: 54773"] Don't be too hasty about deciding what you'll want during peak lol. If I could completely shut down my brain's empathy centers I'd take my vacation during peak. A couple supplements to the above posts: I believe the insurance and benefits kick in after a certain number of hours worked, not just three hundred plus sixty-five days. But, if you're interested in going full time and are productive, have a good attitude, etc. it may be possible to work doubles, especially during peak. Doing so will cut that year down. It depends on your hub though, as many people with seniority might be in front of you in line for working doubles, and the work won't always be there. Most doubles don't work doubles most of the time. I don't know if vacation days are a universal (in my hub I think it's 2/year for new hires, and you get an extra day every year), and call outs are iffy. I'm not sure how many of those you get. Your sup won't like you in any case if you rack up too many of those (goodbye working doubles) and they are definitely unpaid. [/QUOTE]
