I'm thinking this has all taught the company that an annual system bid is a bad idea, and doesn't allow the staffing flexibility they need for unexpected situations.
Clearly they need more frequent bids, and more cowbell. I mean culture.
That reference just went over the head of the bottom 30% of the seniority list.

I’m guessing that, if someone went back and modeled it out retro to 2018, quarterly bids would have saved them lots and lots of money, even with our present vacation system.

under the yearly system you bid for position and base and the company knows where you’ll be and we then a month later bid for vacation. You keep your vacation even if you’ll be moving around the system because they know you’re moving and you bid within the group you’ll be in at the time.

Vacation is base and position specific. Under the old quarterly system if you bid a new base or position you lost your vacation if it was after your transfer. Much like the base trade system is today.
under the yearly system you bid for position and base and the company knows where you’ll be and we then a month later bid for vacation. You keep your vacation even if you’ll be moving around the system because they know you’re moving and you bid within the group you’ll be in at the time.

well if they want it back I’m sure we can come up with something we want

I think we need more frequent bids, but should also keep our vacation if we change base or seats.
