I want QOL. I want my bretheren to have QOL. I played this stupid game for 16 years, off and on. I will never sell someone's future for my present. I bet you will.
There is no I in Team, but apparently, there's a huge ME there that you've found.
P.S. Your sarcasm needs work.

Well I have been playing this game for 26 yrs and if there's one thing I have learned, it is that the company crafts language to allow future loopholes that they will try to slip thru in future years. And when
we find loopholes, the very next contract fills those holes. Example-
When I got hired, they did vacations manually. I had small kids and wanted Xmas off, but was nowhere near senior enough to bid that week. A wise 727 Capt told me the answer was to bid the week BEFORE Xmas off then add 7 bought vacation days. Voila, Xmas week off, because they were too stupid to notice that there were no more Xmas weeks available when they add bank vacation days.
Well, lo and behold, this worked for 3+ years for me, when many senior to me did NOT get Xmas off. Until a new contract expressly PROHIBITED using bought vacation days between 01 Dec and 10 Jan. Loophole closed.
So I believe the story I was told by the CP was true. I will never know, because at my category seniority level, I cannot sharpshoot PBS to test out that theory.
