Whelp, I'm officially working on Christmas.

[Roger Roger]

ATP oral today, flight Wednesday. Back to work Friday.

Nice long layover in NYC. Which is nice-haven't been out exploring the city in a long time. So it's all good also. Could definitely be worse.

 

[z987k]

I'm working, but I wouldn't call it work.

I'm working sleeping as well.

 

[Boris Badenov]

I'm working sleeping as well.

Yeah ditto. And since it's an overtime shift and a holiday, they're paying me 2.5X for it. Haha! Suckers!

 

[ppragman]

I have most major holidays, and weekends off here, so no, I'm off today, and tomorrow I only have one easy-peasy flight. Good month for me so far, over 80 hours too.

 

[ASpilot2be]

I am jealous of those that got to sleep in this morning. 3AM is even uglier on Christmas morning.

 

[z987k]

Yeah ditto. And since it's an overtime shift and a holiday, they're paying me 2.5X for it. Haha! Suckers!

Not only are they paying extra, but they're covering dinner for the pilots, crews and any family that doesn't mind Christmas next to an airport!

Oh, the humanity!

finished yesterday the 24th at 9am in IAH. Caught the 8:55AM flight home to SNA! I get done the 31st at 3pm, catching a flight to LAX. Although I'm debating spending new years in Costa Rica. It is my birthday that day too, woo hoo!

 

[Cruise]

Just got to the hotel here in sunny FLL. Off the rest of the day and back at it again early tomorrow. Seriously hoping there's somewhere to grab a bite to eat....other than the local Mc'D's or chinese restaurant. Oh boy......the joys of working on xmas!

 

[Bumblebee]

Merry Christmas all!

Happy Birthday my friend

and my flight was cancelled tonight...but that was my only relief from where I am so...I'm back in my hovel. I'm always in a good mood though because I am a very lucky and fortunate man.

 

[Boris Badenov]

FLL? Dude, you're at the on-ramp to the Hebrew Highway. Go out and find yourself a good party and a not-too-nice Jewish Girl.

 

[Bumblebee]

as long as she's nice to YOU Mattio!

Most of the restaurants in the hotels are open as are many others. Just Google it! And Merry Christmas to you!

Sitting at the hotel here in IAD.....

 

[ASpilot2be]

Almost time to go home and take a nap. It was way more work than I really wanted for Christmas morning. Wrestling warped pallets, and trying to get all the cargo on while keeping it in its limits.

 

[Mark815]

TEB overnight here. Never seen this airport so quiet before...
