When I am the number 3 VTO I want to be able to build my schedule third and if it is all R Days I want to pick the R days from the available pool. To get that we will have to negotiate.
I want all of that too. I do not want more VTO lines. By definition, the number of VTO lines should be driven by bare necessity, not company desire. A certain number of VTO's are necessitated by our vacation system. That is the concept that has been lost in this discussion.
I think you want PiBS.
I give up.
More VTO lines is not a good thing..........period.
