flyingspanner Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 My shift is 25th - 28th Nights this year, then 4 off. Fortunately we dont fly on Christmas Day so I don't have to go in till Boxing Day. I am grabbing a bit of Overtime today though, going in about 2pm just to help put the aircraft to bed, should home about 5pm for 12hrs pay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebe03 Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Fortunately I never work between Christmas and New Year as the office is closed. I always have lots of holidays left to take at the end of the year so end up taking most of December and part of January off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laine Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 I have always worked Christmas for as long as I've worked at the hospital; new years, too. I don't mind though since I'm single and my family gets that I have to work so we plan accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingspanner Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Well, what should have been an easy couple of hours turned into a busy 5 hrs. Two pairs of Nosewheels needed changing and a Weather Radar defect needed sorting out. Oh well, home now, and I may even have a little tipple.
