Default everyone in MEM for Christmas

Is it me, or do most lines on the B727 either finish up late on the 24th, so you are stuck in MEM on Christmas or start on the 26th, so you have to commute on Christmas. What's up with that?

This seems like one more turning of the screws. I have never seen them this bad. They could have been built a lot better by the SIG, but since the company was building them, they might as well screw everyone.

I certainly hope EVERYONE enjoys their scheduled days off during the holidays.

How impressive would it be if a bunch of guys look at this bidpack and dropped their retirement papers ASAP?

And if you try to drop the 24th or 26th, you'll probably get insufficient reserves. I'm thinking there is someone at FedEx that expected a thread like this and now is laughing at us.

Yeah, and I'd bet that guys at other airlines, who are furloughed or about to be, are not quite laughing, as they are probably thinking that they'd give their eye teeth to be in your situation. Besides, Memphis on Christmas has a nice sound to it. After all, you won't be somewhere where you can't find a place of worship, as there's one on every corner in Mempho.

I think you are missing the point that he would rather be home, not that he does not like his job.

Or he missed the point that the company had the option of screwing 70% or 40% and went with the former. Like KDen he thinks we should all live within 10 minutes of the AOC just in case.
