The part that's annoying is they said that classes would extend till December 11th so I made the assumption based on my seniority I would have an early December class and have Christmas off this year. I bid what I wanted not what I thought I could hold and it has worked out for me I just wish I didn't have to wait till 2018 for class.
Yea that's kind of a raw deal but, differences aren't a large training footprint, you'd be done with sim before Christmas most likely. There is no guarantee of having Christmas off if you are doing IOE. There are now several LCP's that have fallen back on reserve or are barely holding lines and are likely to be stuck working Christmas... which means IOE will be happening on Christmas. The bigger thing is this likely means that the next vacancy won't be coming until January now. They can't have classes for the next one start before all of the classes in this vacancy have started.
