VTO lines intended to cover Vacation\training conflicts for both line holders and reserve line holders.
Adding more VTO lines doesn't somehow magically increase the number of R days during the bid month
And the bottom guy under either system is going to have zero say in what days he works. Under this TA the second to the last guy will have some say. More control over VTO lines, we asked for it we got it.
