Don't suppose there's any small Christmas bonus or anything? I know the answer is probably "LOL, yeah right" but just thought I'd ask.

If I've got nothing but 6-on/3-off blocks of reserve, they can't extend me past 6 days anyway, right? In that instance, wouldn't it be smarter to bid a golden day for that third day off so they can't cut into my weekend and make me start early?

they didn't tell you in your phone interview about the great bonuses the company gives?

If you're on RS3, to get your 30 hours of rest in 7 days, I think they could hypothetically keep you going til 6 a.m. on the 7th day. But I doubt it ever happens. As for the third day off, the only way they'd schedule you then is before your other days off ended. I guess it's possible but unlikely to the point that it's not worth it.

Like you I was always 6-days-on, so I never even bothered with Golden Days. But if you happen to get a stretch of 4 or 5 days on, or just want to be absolutely sure you're off for that wedding or Superbowl or whatever, that's when I'd bid it.

Why the hell do people travel so much on Christmas Eve? And then they get ****ed when a flight is cancelled for weather or delayed with missed connections. Don't blame the airline for your own stupidity.

We use to get Xmas cards with pictures of his ex-wife and under aged daughter on the beach.

Einstein.... maybe because they wanna be home for Christmas? And then they get mad because they paid hundreds of dollars for a service that was never rendered? You have an obligation to help them in any way you can, THEY sign your paychecks. Don't blame the passengers for your own stupidity.

Didn't you just start too?!
