I was always told the no-fly-over-vacation thing was to help reset FAR limits, etc. In other words, it helped the company. I'm in no way suggesting we get rid of that, but I am curious why we as pilots not want it? As far as I can tell, the company can't plan on us flying over vacatons, therefore, they couldn't really reduce the staffing needed.

Go easy on me. Just trying to fully understand the history and the potential impacts if for someone reason it changed.
