Holidays off during training that's funny. Sorry I don't know where in the contract it states that. I've been in sim/ground school during every major holiday here at xj. No big deal it's part of the job requirement.

So, yes training is off for christmas and new years but not thanksgiving, or no training doesn't take time off during the holiday? I'm confused, I thought everybody buy crew members, ground handlers, gate agents and SOC individuals (aka management) took all holidays off.

That is correct. But I can't tell you whether or not they actually hold ground school on Thanksgiving Day. They are able to per the contract.

Thanks marvin, I'll let you know in a few weeks I suppose.
BTW, even if you are named after an old gas station, the south park episodes with Starvin Marvin are hilarious...

The class can decide to move a training day on a federal holiday(unanimously) to later in the week and only have one day off instead of the normal two days off between the max of 5 days of training in a row.
Training and testing section 11 A.3.b.(3).(a).
And the mentioned 24,25 of dec and jan 1st mentioned above which is what I was originally refering to. Got the Thanksgiving part wrong. 11.A.1.b in the contract.

Got the pc tomorrow and loft on wednesday, does anyone have a ballpark idea for time off before IOE right now? And is it likely to be in your domicile or elsewhere?
