[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 751848, member: 4653"] Same thing here. Trading vacations doesn't sit well with many drivers and I can sympathize with this. The chance to get even a late June week is so competitive amoung us "middle senority guys" that I have the guy or two that are directly under me ask not to pick the final week in June because they reserved a cottage for that week. First of all, they are lying. Second, I wasn't going to take it because there is only one week I really need and as everyone at BC knows its a week at the end of July. Third, I really don't care about you and your cottage. Why are you even coming to me and asking this? Do you think I'm going to change MY plans so you can get YOUR week? Now, if I had 6 summer weeks then I would be more than happy to give you the week or even two you are looking for. However, we all know I can't do that because July and August is gone to anyone with less than 15 years in. Yes, this year, the last week in June was available for me and I didn't need it. The driver picking right after me came to me and ask me what my vacation picks were. I didn't know his name, but he obviously knew mine. He came up to me and ask what I picked for vacations. I began to tell him and he rudely cut me off and asked if I picked the last week in June. I told him no and he ran away. If I did pick it, did he expect me to change it? I may have if I knew him, but I didn't. I guess this comes back to senoirity rules and we have to live with it. I'm good friends with a driver that takes all six weeks in the summer. I give him crap every year that its guys like him that leaves guys like me and everyone else around my hire date without a summer week. His response: "Browniehound, when you get the seniority you get to have the weeks". I can't argue with this. Still, I tell him that I look like a fool to my future in-laws and I have for 6 or 7 summers now. He just shrugs his shoulders and says "Its seniority". Thanks buddy! I love you too!! HA HA [/QUOTE]
