For real. I had to work Christmas for a few years in a row and the cutting board and passport wallet were nice. When they started with the socks and then did a victory lap the next year, I knew they stopped trying. I don't work Christmas or the days leading up to it anymore because there is just too much scheduling chicanery that would ruin any plans I had. No matter how overmanned we are, Christmas time is still a wild scramble to find bodies. Let that be a lesson to the managers in training who said they decided to overman to "prevent JAs". Yeah, um ok.

Those two pilots are being shanghaied by the legal system and two flight attendants looking for a nice payday. I hope this comes out in the pilots favor and blows up in the FAs faces. Ridiculous.
