working xmas day!
 

got the short straw this year, working Christmas day, sucks...

xmas day work
 

What sucks about it? You could always become a bank clerk and guarantee xmas off, or do you want your employer to cancel flights over xmas to suit you?

Perhaps aviation is not for you? Worked plenty of Xmas/New Years, Bank Hols and weekends over the last 20 years. Plenty of loooong night flights as well.

Comes with the job. I wouldn't swap it for anything else.

There are plenty of people who would gladly take your place. Not having a job at all? Now that really sucks.

Guess what? I have Christmas day off this year.

The reason why arrived in the post this morning!

Be :mad: happy you have a job!

KT:sad:

i agree with hawker...

everyday is xmas day in this job... especially if you're lucky enough to still have one.

working days xmas and nights new year this time, am I bovvered... nah fantastic excuse to dodge the horrendous occasions with family members you just cant stand !

I think long finals has got the general drift of the feeling amongst most of the pilot community!!

Would be happy to work xmas to be honest. But i won't, my company won't have an AOC anymore...

Wish I was working xmas day.............:rolleyes:

(X XL F/O here)

hey Stue, why don't you ask long finals if he wants to swap?

Congratulations on becoming Friday's most hated poster on PPrune ;).

KT

Just be glad you didn't post this in jet blast...........................!

Long finals

Don't listen to all this cr@p the simplest way to resolve your predicament is to become a Muslim and you will not have to worry about christmas and even better you can keep flying. Lateral thinking the only way ahead :ok:

I hope the BMI guys are working xmas day to get me the **** home from Jordan !!! LOL

HFS:ok:

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention, I work in Asda.:ok:

I think not Long Finals, let's guess...... which UK airport has a 16 runway? I will start with Aberdeen

Top marks for comedy come back!

I just remembered Aberdeen does have a big ASDA store, but just checked with them and they apologise but are closed on xmas day

Technically Hawker the Aberdeen ASDA is in Portlethen! Still closed Christmas Day tho' :E
