So there are no real answer with specifics. It has varied greatly over the years.
I’ll give two examples (first hand knowledge). One of the vacation policy and another fo the work rules.
I started a trip mid week and flew with a manager. He was actually on vacation that week but was called to fly. He had to leave his family, in the middle of a family trip, to fly an uncovered company trip. He had to commercial back to base the day before and missed all but the first couple days of his family vacation.
As far as work rules, two, that’s right 2, managers flew an airplane from Narita back to SDF non stop.
