My understanding is that most people, the crews involved in the trial, the company council, and the pilot management believe that the 5/2,5/4 rostering sequence is proving to be a success. With this belief comes the hope, perhaps the expectation that the pattern will be accepted by those eligible to vote.
Now, since the leave bidding process must begin before the end of the roster trial, it needs to be presented in one format or the other. It makes sense to offer leave based on the format which is more likely to be in place at some point beyond March. If, however, the 5/2,5/4 trial is rejected then rosters and associated leave must be realigned with whatever follows.
I am not involved with the trial, the cc or pilot management. I merely wait to be given the opportunity to vote.
There have been comprehensive mailings by the cc and pilot management on this subject. C'mon, noflare, read your emails and look forward to exercising your right to vote like the rest of us!

Edited to correct grammar point, sorry!
