Wow, good info. Thanks! I figured that instructors and students alike would get the four-day weekend not so much I guess huh? Guess it's Turkey in Atlanta this year!

Definitely wasn't a 4-day weekend but was able to get home for at least a couple days for both.

Get used to it. Spent many a T-day in a Denny's or Waffle House in the last 20 years. Management gets holidays off. Line pilots, not so much.

Default December 7th class

Hi y'all! I interviewed May 26th and am swimming around with you. I flew with a captain today that knows of an Endeavor SSP that got a call today for a December class. The new hire said there would be 7 SSPs in this class and a total of around 40 people. Not sure if there are any Compass flows left so maybe the rest are OTS. Anyone have info on this or any OTS calls yet? Also...don't think another December class will happen with the holidays. So the next class after this will most likely be in January....

I'm in sims in Nov. Got 11/25-26 off. So yeah, you'll probably have the holiday itself off unless the sim schedule is going full tilt, but you may not be able to get too far.

I hear ya, and after 26 yrs in the Navy the wife is used to it. I just "assumed" they wouldn't have instructors avail. Moons over my Hammy sounds ok by me.

Guys...I'm watching this thread go into the "holiday deployment despair." Keep your heads up. It's a good job. If you are "unfortunate" enough to be in the sims over the holidays, count yourself fortunate enough to be HERE over the holidays. There are many that aren't. If you came from the military, you've done the holiday deployments. It's no different out here. It is what it is. For what it's worth, I'm in my first 7 months with the company and I have the entire last 7 days of November off...on reserve. There's wins and there are losses. It depends on base, fleet and your seniority. It varies greatly. In the long run, it's a good job with a great company and I think you'll be happy. Don't sweat the small stuff while you're settling in. It will all work out in the end. Welcome aboard! Be happy and just try to relax and go with the flow. You'll be fine. Really. Welcome aboard!
