Rest assured, if you're on vacation running say the 15th through 25th, you WILL be working up through the 14th and promptly returning to work for a 05:00 report on the 26th. If that's what you want to do with your vacation time, fine, but do it to yourself and don't be forced into it by the company. I DO NOT TRUST our management with PBS!!!
PBS is also about who has final say in the runs. At Delta, the union has final QC over the end product. The company turns the results over to the union, who can make the company run different parameters if the results are too heinous.
While there is still unstacking on holidays, and you can't always protect someone who just doesn't know how to bid, in the end it's not too bad. I'm sure the company would like to run it as advantageous as possible to them and call it good.
That said, the actual trips the company builds, well, that can be a whole different story.
