The company approved it while PBS and other conflict rules were still on the table, apparently feeling that whatever ground they lost with OCV would be made up when we caved on PBS and conflict bidding.
Way down the road the company realized that we weren't going to budge on those areas and wanted OCV back, but the mediator agreed with us that it had already been TA'd as a stand alone item.
We all ***** about quality of life items, but the ability to have two 6 to 8 week periods of time off twice a year, plus another nice break when the slide starts next year is a pretty big plus in that column.
Like FO4life says, enjoy it!

This is what I have heard multiple times. Company thought they could reopen any TA'd section towards the end and the NMB said no. BT told us at the SDF roadshow that the company had nearly instantaneous buyer's remorse on OCV, never mentioned any connection to PBS.
