nobody around my seniority was around last xmas.
Before anyone slings arrows at the new guy....I am not demanding/expecting/or anything of the sort to be off for Xmas. Merely wondering if it was even REMOTELY possible for a new guy to work it (within the PWA) to get off Xmas.
The technique I see used was guys would bid reserve, and Yellow Slip on days off early in the month to fill up. thus dropping their reserve days at the end of the month over Xmas. Brilliant.
I always wondered why in the world someone would want to YS on a day off....now i think i see the reason
