Tis true. When bidding to go to the 717 I asked for the two days off. When I went to bid for my line the month prior to training I decided to do a reserve line and just bid all of my favorite days off. I thought that PBS would award those days automatically.
It does not. I ended up on RES up to the day I started class, no 48 hours off. Turns out I was told you still have to bid those days off and if you don't get them off then that provision kicks in I guess manually? I didn't follow up, didn't care.

How does that alan shore know so much?
I'm starting to think he wrote it.
I kind of think of him as using one of those intelligent PBS like voices to calmly inform us of why he wrote it the way he wrote it, and it all makes sense...
