Golden Day Denial
Has anyone ever been denied the golden days they requested on the bid due in icrew for the following month? It's never happened to me until the March bidding for the month of April.
I got the days off I wanted on the initial PBS bid and then submitted my bid for golden days well before (days) the closing date. My first two choices were/are 18/19 April. I didn't get them. And yes, they are the first two off days in the group.
I'm pursuing this with scheduling and we will see what happens. I know of no way to see why it was denied/not awarded.

After I got the days off on the initial bid, I never even considered I wouldn't get them as golden as long as I put a bid in. Which I did.

The 19th is our travel day and I threw in the 18th as an off day because that worked best for my schedule and to give myself a little cushion. I'm just trying to add to that cushion.

I think now you can slide both parts of the respective vacation segments within their months. I might experiment with sliding the first part forward and then bid days off at the end of the month. Then the following month add days off at the back end to lengthen the vacation.
