You don’t even know apparently what you have or “really” don’t have... you have no leverage, you have a crap sandwich...��
Don't blame me; I'm new here too. There's quite a lot of leverage when PBS will save the company around 10 percent in staffing requirements. I'm sure the senior guys can score an extra week of vacation for themselves with that in negotiations.
As far as conflict bidding there is one and only one thing in AS's CBA that makes you say, "wow that's cool." Pilots can trade away single vacation days to each other in order to conflict bid the days off they need. One week of vacation over xmas can be very powerful.
