So I want a prefer off (RANGE) prior to the slide VAC line even if those very same days I’m trying to slide over? Not saying you’re wrong, but how would this prevent a coverage award any different than just sliding the vacation? With a coverage “award”, you get forced to work those days whether you have a prefer off or not.
Coverage sucks, and it’s really becoming a thing as lean as they are running the operation now. I’ve had more coverage awards hit my bid in the last few months than ever. Same relative seniority last two years.
