Why waste a perfectly good vacation? Just sign up for it. Sure it might be unpaid but you had 51 weeks notice.ARGH, I tried to take that week as vacation. Not enough seniority

And for the drivers that are working the week after Christmas, talk about challenges! Many routes collapsed and then shoved into another truck. Your area which used to be 1/4 of a city, is now 1/2. Fun, fun, fun.

Damn, and I thought having just Christmas Eve off was sweet!
The nice thing for me is Friday is my regular day off. So taking the lay off for Christmas Eve, I still will have a 40 plus hour week.
Bad thing is, I will only have a three day weekend since I start work on Sunday.
(I know, I know, boo hoo on me, lol)

What is this sign up sheet you speak of?
Did you look outside this morning? Next week is going to be ugly. I'm betting they want us to work next Saturday if we don't get it all cleaned up by Thursday.I feel lucky now. Our center overstaffed this year. I made cutoff in the past 2 weeks. I got 8.5 hours worked 2 days ago.My hopes are high for 24th eve.

Yes I did. Roads are empty, 2 feet snow, low 4X4 on, smooth ride. Hope they will clean it up by Monday or at least by Wednesday. I checked the weather it looks OK for the rest of the week.

Our center was so slammed last year during the week after Christmas that this year all the high seniority drivers gobbled that week up for vacation in no time.

Wouldn't that week be considered a 2010 vacation week?
We don't select for a calendar year. We start vacation selection in january for march 1st of the current year to feburary 28th of the next year.
So the drivers had last years week after xmas in mind when they picked vacation weeks in jan/feb of 09 for march 2009 to feb 2010.

Just get the planes here on time. That will help immensely.
This needs to be moved to the 2727 thread

The planes would be on time if the mechanics just had a dang contract!

According to the company, in our neck of the woods, it is considered a 2010 week. According to the blue book I carry in my backpack, it is a 2009 vacation week. Unfortunately, too few people get involved and step up to the plate to ensure the contract is followed. Oh well.

I agree. I wonder why they won't agree and get this over with.... I don't know all the ins and outs, but from what I hear, it seems fair.
Strategically, maybe before the economy tanked the Company's position may have been a little softer.
I dunno'????
