Vacation is pre-assigned with PBS . It would be nice to still have the vacation conflicts. It is however, simply inefficent to turn what should be one week of vacation into what 3 weeks paid vacation. Basically you are paying two people to do that trip. I am all for being efficent. At Skywest we get vacation hours not weeks. In the long run I have had more vacation than I would with the vacation week system. You can also bid for lots of days off around your vacation. We have the option of bidding for vacation a year in advance but can also put in last minute requests if we choose to do so. It is efficent, it saves money, and you are on reserve a lot less. I have been getting great schedules for the last few months now. All in all it is a give in take but I think I have benefited QOL wise a lot more than I would with the line system.
With our monthly bidding system you can always drop a 3-day and end up with 11 days off in a row if you really want to, or just move days around to get a good number of days off, but what I'm wondering about is:
Is PBS able to consistantly make your 7 day vacation into 16-21 days off?
