except that you posted pages back that there are indeed exclusions that might limit the number of people that might receive the benefit. That would be considered performance based, tay?
No. Why would you say that?
Vacation time, including the 5th week, are not the only benefits that DL employees based and there are a number of them that do have performance components to them.
That's nice. This topic is about the 5th week of vacation.
but since you seem to be glued to your computer
Smartphones are awesome way to kill time...
But you never said the "go to hell" statement was a joke, though.
That's 'cause it wasn't one.
Again as a white collar unorganized professional I have a very different perspective on all this. Explain why it should be any of your business how many weeks of vacation or preference for vacation taking days off another employee receives? Personnel matters should be handled on a need to know basis with the employee, supervisors, managers, and HR department, not other employees. In practice with workplace politics that doesn't happen but its mind boggling to me why people accustomed to a union and seniority based environment feel information is being withheld from them. And of course you cover this up with accountability, consistency, fairness, transparency, etc but giving everyone the exact same is not necessarily "fair".

You may not like the system, but giving everyone "the same" is how it is. DL models employee accruals based on years of service, just as any other carrier does.
It's not a matter of being in everyone's business; everyone knows those dates if for no other reason than to know when they'll hit them.
If the question was which specific employees will see the 5th week returned to them right way, I might be with you. Asking how many in total will see it come Apr. '14 is a different issue altogether...
