Christmas Whiteout ?

[bunt3dunk]

Anyone hear about a mass sick out the week before Christmas called Whiteout ? The story is that there is going to be another round of layoffs after the holidays and there is going to be a mass sickout to protest this . I heard this on the gate today from one of the flight crews.

Good maybe the company will give us a little do not call in sick insentive and give away a big screen and ipods like they did a couple yrs ago in PHL.

There is "word" of a "sick out" EVERY YEAR!! And it is BS... Sick calls are ALWAYS spiked on the holiday..... NOTHING NEW TO READ HERE FOLKS....

Oh, and here's an incentive........ Come to work and keep your job or call off sick and get fired!!!
Why is it people feel entitled to extra to come to work when they knew HOLIDAYS were part of the job descrition on a 24/7 365 day a year operation.....

This thread is stupid and needs to be caaaaallllooooosssseeeddddd!!!!

If there is a whiteout, Tempe can blame it on the jet stream.

Hmmm. If you know you are getting furloughed in January, just where is the threat in your statement?

Umm .the poster was probably referring to the fact that sick calls spike every year during the holidays. In general, there are several that get pissy about working on holidays--even though they voluntarily took jobs in an industry that operates every day of the year.
