PBS bites ! Why did people junior to me get Christmas off ? My bid couldn't have been more explicit-"Prefer off Dec. 25th".The company can manipulate the system to get the results THEY want."Award Report Time before xxx.."-"not considered"..."Prefer off weekends"-"not considered"-still people junior to me get it.Bid what you want-at the top of the results page you'll get hit with "Affected by denial mode","Affected by unstacking" or my personal favorite "Manual Assignment"."Set min sked " means an 88 hour line with 12 days off with 4:30AM show times.My last bid had "honored" after every request,but not one request was honored-see "denial mode" and "unstacking " above.It ought to just say "Seniority-not considered " and be done with it.
