Slightly higher chance of getting the holiday off? Knowing what wh***s most pilots are, I doubt junior pilots will be ABLE to fly over holidays if there is premium pay.

I just landed in Miami. We're celebrating when I get home mañana. I can't complain. I did this to myself. Somebody else got to stay home and not endure the traffic and SIEU meltdown that was the 405 last night. What a mess!!!!!!

If you can get a car, drive 2 hrs. up rt. 27 to Sebring, you are more than welcome here Buzz. There's lots of food and I've got plenty of Sams in the fridge for the Pats/Jets game later, so come on up!

I hope you all have a great day, where ever you may be.

Oh, and what's the over/under we see Tebow in the game tonight?? :eek:

Happy Thanksgiving to all, especially all the folks who weren't able to be home today with friends and family. Hope they have a good spread for everyone today in their base lounge.

There have been very few Greenslips given out so far this week. I certainly would not call it a panic. There are a order of magnitude more greenslips given out with almost any weather event. Overall the sick leave rate does not rise much over holidays. For the most part our pilots have a pretty good integrity level. There are off course notable exceptions but overall its pretty good.
