Good luck. And, oh yeah, no contract language to control it.

Exactly. You nailed that one.
Sometimes you get exactly what you should, based upon seniority (and what's left after the view/add window is processed), and sometimes junior VTO holders get what you have requested. And occasionally, they'll even leave in open time a trip you specifically requested, to add injury to insult, when you have no conflicts, no training, vacation, general requests, anything.
And there is zero accountability. They generally ignore your emails or phone calls with requests to explain, but if you're lucky they will show you what they entered (with no explanation, advice, or reasons why you got mostly am out and backs and junior guys or open time got your specific requests).
But sometimes it works as it should. So? Flip of the dice. Contract enforcement is very little help. Ain't it great?
