But eventually in 121 you will hold seniority and be off. Not even scrambling to look for a contract pilot willing to fly the holidays.
You will, be off, really off, the phone will not be required to answer.
If Grum starts debating, refer to our previous debates.
Are they allowed to listen to me because I have also never worked a holiday at my corporate job and have friends at others that have worked very few holidays or none at all. Most of the guys I know that fly for airlines work a lot of holidays, and when I flew for one I worked every major holiday. But I'm sure you will tell me I don't know what I'm talking about or some other nonsense because it doesn't fit your narrative.
