I assume you say it would never happen because senior people don't want to give up the GS benefit... but now that we've been hiring quite a bit, I think it has a chance of more of a priority. I put it as top issue each survey....and I can hold Xmas off but don't GS.
I'm fairly senior overall if not in category. I'm all for it. I manage to massage my schedule each year and get Xmas off. This year I'm on call 24-26 but being in an international category where 99% of the trips are 4 days or more, I don't think I'll be called. Possible but not probable.
I would luv to see it. As I said before, holiday pay would create increased QOL for many pilots. Maybe restrict it to 2 days before and one day after. Just the the restrictions on an APD/IVD. And before any one says it, I know those are not hard/no exception restrictions. I used my APD on the 23rd.
