Educated WAG, but probably working Halloween goes more senior on the CA side than FO, since most of the CA's have kids that are grown where as many FO's have elementry school age kids.

My friend who flies the 757 out of EWR said he has never worked a major holiday since he's started almost 2 and a half years ago

It's the one holdiday I dont GAF about being home for (unless it happens to fall on a weekend in which case I'm simply bidding the weekend off anyway).

As a parent, for the few years it matters it REALLY matters- after that, it REALLY doesn’t. Absent holiday pay though, I believe it’s one of the major sick out days for most airlines.

Thats what’s great about this job. I’m on the opposite side of the spectrum. I don’t GAF about any of the holiday pay. They could offer me SRM on top of the holiday pay and i still wouldn’t do it. It more important to me to spend the holidays (4th of July, X-Mas, Halloween….) with my school age kids.

The truly senior play is to work the day before the holiday and block in at 11:46PM (NYE &Xmas eve aside).
