Also I think it does the coverage first, then runs your bids as usual, that's why it's at the top of the reasons report.
I believe there is info on this in the SRH or PBS handbook (sorry don't have them to hand) and also an Engage podcast that explains coverage.

This is correct, much in the same way PBS will try to meet your commuting report/release parameters on a coverage award as well. A coverage award is not permission to PBS to just put whatever trip it wants on your schedule. It will try to honor whatever other parameters it can that you've entered in your bid.

On the list of holidays I want off for, Memorial Day is pretty far down the list. A day can be somber without affecting whether or not I bid off for it.

I party on Memorial Day because the bros I know that died overseas would be doing the same and want me to as well. I usually make a toast to them and remember them in my own way. That said, it’s not high on my list to get off. Boaters are stupidest on Memorial Day and I don’t go out. No matter where I’m at, I’ll pour one out, even if it’s delta water.

do you put the same priority on getting Memorial Day off that you do Christmas or Thanksgiving? Didn’t think so.

I do. Actually, Memorial Day weekend is a higher priority for me.

Well, we are all different people with different priorities. Luckily I am fortunante enough to say I never lost anyone in my 9.5 years of service. I'll happily work and pour some galley coffee for yall's homies and you guys that actually want it off can have it. Everyone is happy.
