Wouldn't it be nice to know you have summer vacation before march of the same year
Please don't say we've always done it that way
Doesn't make it right or better
No clue, but this isn't the way we bid vacation at UAL pre merger. Even last year it was bid using the old method and made sense. Now bidding in "bid groups" and if it can't give you exactly what you want, it just fails and gives you whatever the company wants you to have, is ridiculous.
We always knew our vacation at least 4 months in advance and as many as 15 months in advance, unless we didn't bid and had unassigned vacation, which we found out 60 days in advance.
