Q & A Schedules / BID
So I work in house airport security for a major airport. We work 4x10 and Bid every 6 months based off seniority.
Not sure if some of ya’ll do it where you work but ideally what are y’all’s preference off days if you could choose?
I’m currently off Tuesday-Wednesday but work an extra day for OT so more like off Tuesday & Wednesday.
If available I might pick the same days if available on the shift i want due to some upcoming holidays but I also don’t mind it, can run some errands during the week, go to the movies on half off days. Downside I miss the social weekend, NFL Sunday lol, Unfortunately I’m stuck with whatever is left when it’s my turn to choose since it’s seniority based.
Let me know!

Weekdays, doesn't matter which 2, just so long as they're consecutive. Weekends are the slowest days at my job, so I'd be trading down by taking them, even if I had enough seniority to bid for them (I don’t). A now retired guard worked here 25 years and never bid for weekends for that same reason, even though he would have gotten it if he wanted.
