When this happened to me I wanted to bid a week in April to get my kids spring break off. I bid it as primary vacation and, in years past I had gotten it with tertiary vacation, I did not get it. There was no training posted anywhere I could find. I called and found out that I was "scheduled" to go to training over that time even though I could not find it anywhere in DBMS. I was "scheduled" in the crew training schedule so that was good enough. Obviously I was ticked. Tried to pursue it but it went no where...... They claimed "past practice" but there had never been a mandatory displacement during vacation bidding before......
I never would have done this but I suppose some might but, at the time, the thought could have been to bid a week of vacation every month (Apr, May, June) and take 3 or 4 months off!! Training was over a month in duration those days!!
