I start IOE out of ORD tomorrow (I am DFW based). I will be in IND on Christmas day. No biggie. My wife and I knew last Christmas would likely be our last for a while. Right now I am in DFW delayed going to ORD due to high crosswinds here
30024G32KT and low ceilings in ORD (18013KT 2SM BR OVC005). Four hour delay so far. I gave up a career in IT sitting in a cubicle for this? Absolutely.

Hey Rail, merry Xmas to you and everyone you're with. I was flying back from Balad - FOB E - Tallil when it turned midnite on Christmas '05, we almost hit wires looking at the clock. When I woke up at 1500 it was raining sideways...
Be Safe my brother...

Got this one in the email a few days ago and thought I should share.
"In aviation news, the FAA now sends an inspector to the North Pole to check out Santa Claus's sleigh before allowing him to fly on Christmas eve.
The inspector arrives and checks the reindeer and they look good, he checks the harness and it looks okay, he checks the sleigh and it is also okay. Then he says, "Santa, lets take it up for a check ride and if everything looks good I'll sign you off."
Santa hitches the reindeer up and taxis onto the runway and just as he's starting his takeoff roll he looks over and notices the inspector has a pump shotgun on his lap loading 12 gauge slugs. "Hey! Whats the shotgun for!?" Santa yells.
The inspector says, "Well, Santa, I'm really not supposed to tell you this before hand, but you're going to have an engine failure on takeoff."
Feel free to tell this one to the kids at home
Oh yea, I'll be working xmas like the lot of you. Cheers.
