With PBS, that's the way it would be for everyone. No more ability to knock out a 90 hour single departure line with 7 days of vacation. No ability to go the other way and bid a line that doesn't conflict w/ your vacation at all so you can get it bought back in Dec if you'd prefer the cash over time off.


Believe it. There's no reason to have sliding or expansion if the planners are building your secondary (I mean PBS) line around your vacation. When was the last time you had the option to slide or expand your vacation in conjunction with a secondary line? I'll give you a hint, NEVER!
So it is a law or something that says vacations can't be processed after schedules are assigned, just like they are now? Work rules are whatever the company and the association agree to.
