A week before my wedding the request was still pending so I talked to the chief pilot and was basically told I should have bid for those days off. I informed him that I did but I was too junior to get those days off. I then told him what days I wouldn’t be at work and he could consider them sick days or unavailable or whatever but I wasn’t going to reschedule my wedding the week before.
