My class was only 11, so there wasn't a huge break during training. My IOE fell right around New Years, though. So I got a nice 2 week break there due to the holiday, vacations and the check airmen being backed up from the previous class.

Oddly enough, looks like it might work out that way AGAIN on the Airbus. I've already got Xmas and probably New Years off since I'm in training. SPV on New Years Eve, though.....
