Xmas is a little better than Thanksgiving since it's 3 consecutive days but you could have a 4 day touching Thanksgiving and only get 5:15 premium.
You could be right. If so, it’s a sad commentary on how disconnected some of our pilots are. We’ve known the details of the pay for 4 months, not sure how people still don’t know. It’s also somewhat bid status related. My four part status had very few trips that sit a long layover over thanksgiving. I’m also based at Mecca so that’s probably part of it…
