Actually I had turkey in BQN on a regular line trip. You can not blame anyone but yourself when you screw up bidding the #1 spot. No, I did not do it for the $25 "no catering" expense. My son's airline finished with him about noon, so he had turkey at home. I'll keep his seat warm for a while, but not at the panel. Someday 4A2b will be over, the hiring will start again, he will get hired and everyone will move up one number. I hope it is soon, and in that order.
Happy Holidays
