The company is not going to end it and 2 maybe 4 years from now we will have a few more banked vacation days. Big Fing deal, and this is what most crews are talking about aside from the bar and grill where it is forbidden to express your views unless you align with the 10 people who post on there.
I rather have the jobs (you cannot say that on the bar and grill). BV days do not add much to a persons life that is borderline becoming a captain or junior in their seat and would like a few extra bodies under them. It really only benefits the senior captains.
The company won. Not fair and not square.
