ML,
thanks for that clarification - as previously posted, i symphatize with you and your cause (if you are 'sicking' out during the holidays, even if that will pi55 a lot of us SLF off and we will have to fly with alternate carriers)

with rosters like that , is it worth the money ???
u only have one shot at this 'life' and it sure is worth more than being a slave to cx and having no time/control over it....
if your all loaded enough with dosh...try some pocket money with 'virgin'...only 4 trips per month and at least 14 days off per mth on the -400..a few have tried it and love the relaxation...its good socially too..

Well, I know you wont believe it, but Im off for my standard, full pay, 15 weeks annual leave. Tried to work for CX once but they said no, and yes I dont earn the money, but hey, there are other advantages. After 15 weeks off (remember on full pay) I still have six weeks oweing, and then another 11 allocated on 1/3/2001. Life could be better, but its not that bad.
