This kinda reminds me of regionals with multiple bases. It was not a good thing. Bases under staffed, junior manning taking effect in waves never seen before, and vacations cancelled. My gut says stay away from VB as far as you can, unless you have an iron clad agreement governing details on numbers and staffing. Yes, I know we don't sell back vacation or cancel it, but what can of worms could this start?
Again my point really is the company in the first year making it look like a good thing. It gets voted in and then the company decides to really optimize it to the max. What is the Max??? I don't want to find out.
As I have posted probably 10 times there is nothing that keeps us from retaining the right to terminate the agreement at any time. Solves the issue you mention. It's also fairly easy to predict where the company can apply a VB and what the cost savings would be.
