If everybody could get what they can hold initially, this wouldn't be near as bad an issue. Senior daddies and mamas get Christmas, thanksgiving, and 3 other weeks of their choosing. I know I personally am on the cusp of being in a season of my life where I no longer want summer vacations. If I had my choice in 2027, it would probably be alternating December and April weeks so I could go to Europe with the family and enjoy my holidays. Summer vacations suck. They are for people who have no other choice. Besides, I never am wanting for time off.
