A couple of weeks ago, Brendan's company (Continental Express) announced they were going to allow personal drops in seniority order for trips that were during 22-25 of Dec. All Brendan really wanted was his last turn dropped (CLE-IND and back to CLE) on the 25th. It got done too late for him to commute home on xmas night. They posted them in peoples schedules today if you were choosen and he got approved! Yea!

So he left this morning and will be home tomorrow night (because of a 40 hr. overnight in White Plains, NY. He is going to rent a car and drive home). He will be home all xmas eve and then won't have to leave until ~9:30 xmas morning. So he will drive back to White Plains and if he flies his butt off

he might be able to make the 3:35 MHT flight! It not, he can take the 7pm flight and still be home xmas night.

Finally something good

He is so excited now. It is only costing him 2hrs of pay and he way made up for it this month. His 88 hr month is already up to 94 hrs! So taking away 2 hrs isn't that bad.
