Have you seen what FedEx gets for vacation?
I understand your point and if we got something crazy for rigs I might reconsider.... But not everyone benefits from rigs the same, the long haul flights almost never see much rig on their trips. With PBS we don't have vacations that touch trips, also with the value of a vacation day being so low 2 weeks of vacation in a month only means about 7 days additional actually off. While work rules are important pay rates are too.
