Not sure how GL holiday pay policy relates to us. 100% of certain regionals' new hires are getting $10,000 signing bonuses. How would $112 make up in any way for the other 360ish days of the year you're just making $14/hr.?
Good lord you guys.. My only point was that our holiday pay blows. Although I certainly appreciate you doing the math for me, I am fully aware that when considering all other factors, this gig pays more.
As far as the hotel goes, just venting a little steam for being stuck in chain restaurant hell for 30 hours. I actually did take the blue line downtown and enjoyed some delicious dumplings down in Chinatown. I guess I'll have to save Toby Keith's for my next 15 hour ORD layover.
