Default Thanksgiving off at FDX?

Wonder what will happen when half the guys figure out they can force the company to drop their Thanksgiving trips?

Also, it appears they have no confidence in our own pilots when they have to continue to venture outside to fill management positions. Guess JB really did pull up the ladder.

I've missed that gem. What provisions allow many of us to force the drop?

Agree that it's sad we can't find a qualified seniority holder to fill that position. And, the explanations why were very weak.

Yeah. I was thinking myself how someone could just delay that through January 1st and avoid the holiday flights.

Damn, I'm always a day late and a dollar short. I just finished it last week.

Now you guys have done it. Any bet there will be an FCIF or email out today saying that even though you didn't finish the work, you'll still have to fly. There will be a mgmt type at your computer station in ops looking over your shoulder making sure you get it done.
