Less credit to award randomly = better chance of your days off.
Thanks,
Roadkill--this was exactly my question!

I'd also wondered about this--the "Thanksgiving Factor." The days I need are early in the month, and over the weekend. As the new guy, of course, weekends are typically tough to come by. I wonder if this will work in my favor in Nov & Dec (when I also need an early weekend off), when everyone else is trying to fill up early and have the Holidays off...?
Thanks also,
Check Essential, for the pointers on Reserve vs Regular days off!
