Christmas off......

Bill G · 10-30-2002, 09:37 AM

Just got my flying schedule for December. Not only am I off for Christmas day, but I have the whole week of Christmas off.
This is highly sought after for flight crews.

I figured with all the cutbacks in our schedule I'd have to take another leave to get the Holidays off. Go figure, but I'm happy.

Now I have to concentrate on Kelsey's Christmas list. It seems to be pages and pages long. Though I am happy to see she has a few airplanes on her list. Atta Girl!

Congrats Bill; the joys of seniority!! UA flight attendants currently receive "holiday pay" for X-mas, New Years, Thanksgiving, 4th of July, and a few others. Consequently these days are frequently n/a for junior bidders. Enjoy!!

Congrats Bill. I will be waiting for the reserve blocks to see if any of those have the holidays off. You know 16 years barely keeps you employed around here.
