Christmas
 

I know its a few days away, but who wants to share what fun flying they get to do on Christmas.......

Me I get to go from Richmond - New York (JFK what a wonderful place)- then a deadhead to Providence


Merry Christmas Everyone!

I've got you beat. I Ferry to LGA, fly to RDU, deadhead to BOS (on Freedom).

I don't mind spending XMAS night in BOS. Half priced food and a good bar in a nice hotel. Only have to leave the hotel room 45 mins before the flight in the AM, so I'm all set!

I'm a commuter and on reserve :( At least I get done that night and have the 26th and 27th off!

well, I had off from last night, and don't have to show up again until the 26th, and even then its a 1650 show :), have fun guys and be safe, Merry Christmas ;).

TUS-DEN-MKE-ORD

sweet.. and if a canary farts, I'll be stuck in MKE with 5 hours of flow.. haha.. here's to hoping for the best! Merry Christmas

I wasn't aware that a tiny little yellow singing bird has that kind of power. Hmm, learn something every day

PHL-BGR, 1820 show....18 hours in bangor...at least I have half the day at home :) could be worse. have a nice holiday!

Christmas day schedule looks like (I'm CVG based): RDU-CVG-GRR-CVG-CHS... at least I stay busy enough to forget it is Christmas...Never been to Charleston, SC... anything to do?

Just did a CHS overnight last night. There's a brand new outlet mall across from the hotel, except it'll most likely be closed on XMas day. Other than that, there is nothing near the hotel. Resaturant downstairs and room service is about all you'll get

Christmas
 

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. :cool:

Delays are so much fun! You gave up that job sitting in a cubicle for a smaller cubicle that goes fast and gets delayed haha... Living the dream...

I get to sit reserve in Harrisburg!

It appears your Canary got out today.....

Good thing it wasn't a Macaw or Eagle or something a little bigger. You woulda had some tornadoes

New here, been lurking a while to look for my next career after the military.

As far as Christmas day and early evening I will be over central Iraq for about 5 hours.

Thanks for being there!

Merry Christmas

hell if I fart wrong at home you will get stuck with 5 hours of flow in ord

I overnight in FRESNO! enough said. happy holidays all!

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 :D


Oh yea, I'll be working xmas like the lot of you. Cheers.

Just deadheaded on a [not so badly delayed] BOS JFK delta flight, and the people were absolutely INSANE. we were 2 hours late, I wanted to rip my hair out the entire flight back there being in uniform...... its really hilarious the things PAX say, ecspec with our "long" taxi in JFK (which i thought was rather quick)...... thank god I am done tommorow at 10am.... heres to being an 8 month FO with the holiday's off......thank u comair :)

I second that! Sometimes when i get mad at a bad four day with an early show and a late finish only worth 17 hours. I really try to keep each and everyone of you guys in mind, and then I realize that 4 days is a lot shorter period away from home than 12 months! God Bless All of you all! Good job and Merry Christmas!

Cheers

SK

thats because of all that pizza hut with the "pork topping" on it! Drink a beer or something!;)

doing one round trip to lga show at 1500. Driving from ny to va in the morning ughhh

Christmas in TUL
 

31 hours in Tulsa, I arrive on the 24th.

I haven't been there yet. Anybody know where the 24hr liquor store, and maybe a Denny's is located? :)

Finish up on the 24th at 1730, then I have the 25th-31st off! To be fair, I was only able to swing it after accepting a junior man from scheduling, since they offered giving me some extra off days for it.

Sure beats last year, when I sat reserve and ate ramen on Christmas.:)

I was just waiting for you to remind us all of that. As I've told many, the world doesn't just shut down on holidays. Some of us actually have to work for a living! :p

You must never go to ORD:D

In other news, I'll be enjoying 3.5 weeks of vacation. Finished at 1pm yesterday, not going back till Jan 14th. Happy holidays everyone! You know what they say, "if you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with". After a few eggnogs I bet those FAs start looking pretty good;)

Got the 24th off, but on C-mas a 0550 show for a GSP turn, then a THREE HOUR sit before going to a CRP overnight - back to DFW the next morning @0600, HOU turn and i'm done. Well not really I work the next day too.

BHM-LGA-CLT......with a 4 hr sit in LGA :(

i was supposed to be going back to BOS for a 6 pm show to do a CDO, now i will be sitting at home enjoying the holiday thanks to being recently unemployed! thank you big sky!

[QUOTE=meeko031;285345]I overnight in FRESNO! enough said. happy holidays all![/QUOT

That is terrible, I’m in FAT rights now and I feel your pain… But not with the salt!!! Pack your self an adult beverage or twelve. :D

Off Christmas-Eve in ORD at 820p...looking for a LGA flight at 900p (don't even think of stealing that J/S on me ;) or I'll have to go all scrooge on you!

Finding my way back home sometime the day after...Merry Christmas and remember - it still beats looking at the walls of a cubicle day in and day out!!

Start a 4 day at 3pm with 6 legs and overnight in Rhinelander, WI on the 25th! I get to spend the morning with family though. Then I start another 4 day on the 31st with a 10 hour overnight in CWA--no drinks for me . . . . oh well, as a 6 month F/O I can't complain . . . . yet ;)

Happy Holidays everyone

ill be at home since I cant fly until we get an airplane

I don't have to work, instead, I got furloughed.

I got ya beat...I'm off from 12/20-1/7 without using vacation/PDO's/overtime. Damn it feels good to be a gangsta...

That's pretty slick to pull off with PBS. I'll be doing IAH-PHL-IAH with a 4 hour sit in PHL. Hopefully we won't be delayed so I can get home for dinner briefly while sitting in PHL.

Pretty rockstar, haha nice job, Merry Christmas :)

Liking the new pic Saab!!, Merry Christmas!!

High Speed Reserve @ home in MSP.......got it switched from reserve in DTW :D
