I don't agree that this is an outlier, I've been able to consistently do it at different levels of seniority. I just don't see this happening with PBS. It will either cost you more vacation time, or you'll have to drop trips, thereby reducing your monthly credit, or you'll have to actively drop/swap/pick up trips dependent upon the availability of open time and the red/green grid. The PBS package should have included more bid weeks off, a higher vacation bank build rate, or an increase in min days off in a vacation month to even put it in the same ballpark as the current system.
