If you look at the formula in the paper, a day of vacay or training is worth a pro rata of the ALV per day in the formula. That's about 2.7 hours per day. The real value is 4:35 for vacation and 5:00 for CQ, My guess is that those two make up the lion's share of absence days on someone's schedule. When you bid, PBS uses the real values, so it runs short of pilots.
If that's where they're running it, well, no wonder.
This is an excellent observation. I wonder if the new values for vacation and training were intentionally left out or unintentionally overlooked. Regardless of how it happened it should be corrected.
