No big deal if they are not what you want. Take your awarded vacation, call in sick for the time you really want off and voila a win win situation. 3,2,1.....que pineapple guy
Fair enough. They can rerun it and give any affected pilot a choice between the first award and the second and then deal with the staffing consequences their mistake caused. The difference is that on the PBS runs, there is a disclaimer that awards aren't final until posted in DBMS. Not so in this case. I'll whine as loud as I want. I care far less about how fast the awards come out than I do about the accuracy of the results. Even the prehistoric IT that Delta clings to is no excuse for that kind of sloppiness.

In my case, I kept the original award.
Before we get too whiny about re-running or not re-running... has anyone actually been warded a lower choice the second time around?

Ok... So my award didn't change and I still have my 40th some odd choice. There are plenty of weeks available on secondary for my first choice of vacation. Why didn't I get it as my primary?

Mine was the same. First time I haven't gotten Thanksgiving off in awhile. Did get the anniversary off though, so my wife is happy. Vegas here we come.

I got the same award, but only 1 week instead of 2. I would have preferred to have 2. I forgot to bid though so I can't complain.

If you need more vacation time just bid the "9". On second thought just stay away
