All I hear is the schedule never remains the same!
Seniority gets you days off. Thats it. 20 year guy works 17 and so does the new hire. Scheduling can take the nice 80 hour line you bid and within day 1 or 2, wipe it out to min guarantee and you have ZERO ability to do anything about it. Oh! I forgot, you can volunteer more days on top of the 17-19 already and work overtime to get yourself back to that 80 hour line.
