Default Free turkey

Got my ticket for a free turkey. If the turkey costs less than $12.

I guess it's nice to have, but I think it's more of a gesture than anything else. Am I misreading the coupon or does this seem a bit pointless?

Dang. They still sending out that turkey voucher? They need to up their game now that skypest isn't ruining the airline any longer.

Maybe they should go back to that big ol wax candle that turned out to be a block of cheese. At least that was something different.

United employees receive thousands of dollars each in profit sharing. We are only contractors to United and not important to their network.

You can get a butterball boneless Turkey breast (3LBS) for under 12 bucks. Ain't the premium, organic, non-gmo etc, but it's possible.

Another consideration, buy the Turkey after the actual holiday, the stores place a deep discount on them to clear out excess inventory. Especially since you'll probably be working on the day anyway.

Why do you feel the need to endlessly troll on here? If you moved on to mainline.... I mean Skywest there shouldn't be any reason for you to endlessly dog this place if you're truly happy??

Not bad advice

1. Moved on from XJT to greener pastures a while back.

2. My NEC contribution and PS will be far more than any Skyw pilots.

3. Been flying for the airlines for over 20 years.

4. Haven't lived in an apartment in over 18 years.

5. Prefer ham over the turkey.

But thanks for the comment dad.
