The only time I ever called in sick for Christmas, I was actually sick. But I’ve had multiple years of schedules that had 6 day work blocks over the holiday, followed by 2days off then a 4 day block after resulting in about 2 nights at home in 11-12 days, I toughed it out but can’t blame a guy for bagging in for one of those deals. I understand I signed up to wrk holidays when I got this gig, but it would be nice if it was only a 4day block with a couple days on either side. Some of the Sh$t PBS puts out shouldn’t surprise the company. I wonder if we offered premium or holiday pay if that wouldn’t actually be more beneficial to the company in the long run. The FA gobble those trips up.
