Actually, since they are covering day and night shift, it's more like 50-60% of us. MD guys on long international trips aren't the majority.

Sure they do --- haven't you seen that TBS Classic "Christmas Story"?

The father wins that leg lamp with the fish net stockings, but the Mom breaks it....then they eat Christmas Dinner at the Chinese Restaurant with the Chinese waiters singing Christmas carols, and finally the boy "shoots his eye out" with that BB gun.

Come on man....what you been doing at Christmas time?

...out busting your ass for Fred in the cold??

Remember the good 'ol days in a land far, far away when union leaders actually were happy when pilots got involved in the process at any level? It seems that SOME of ours feel that involvement is good only if it is agreement to their individual wishes. Not good and it puts a black eye on the others who don't feel that way.
