Man, I would be in heaven if I had 5 (or even 4) weeks of vacation. I thought I was doing pretty well when my job offered me 2 weeks, but when you can't do any shift trades on a salaried desk job like you can on the ramp or what have you, it doesn't go as far. Especially when your friends and family are all 1000 miles away, so you have to use all your vacation time to go back home.

If I'm lucky, I'll get a promotion in the next year or two. If I'm REALLY lucky, I can negotiate more vacation time with HR at that point.
