fdx vacation buffer
I am on RB today and tomorow (30,31) with vacation starting on the 1st (new bid month).
Does the vacation buffer apply in this case? Pretty high on the list and waitin' on the phone to ring but as yet it hasn't. On the other hand, no trips have been assigned to RB today(72 FO).
I don't know if it's because of vacation buffer or no trips? Any thoughts?
Regardless it's a nice tv day in hooterville.
