US Competition Pilot Poll and Election
US Aircraft industry typically starts at 10 days vacation per year that you can decide what you do with, plus a couple of three day weekends during the flying season. Also typically a 4 day weekend in November, and often, the week off between Christmas and New Year's day. After 5 years with a company, you will likely get 15 vacation days a year, and after 10 years, you will likely get 20 vacation days a year. When I was "coming up the ranks", it was 15 days after 10 years with a company, and 20 days after 20 years.
And this is possibly a bit above what is "normal" for the US. So, no. We don't get much paid time off from our work.
