Good luck. |
Like I have said...some people have family or connections in both states...may not need a hotel...or they can stay at the FBO.
I am not hanging out with my parents. I am flying to spend some time with my wife who I only see about once every six weeks. So I really dont want someone hanging out with me at my house. I need to be with my wife with out guests...and its not just about fun either.
If anyone plans on being a pilot for a living...they better learn that holidays are meaningless, it is all about making use and the most of the time they are given. I have worked on many Thanksgivings, been alone on Christmas, lived in hotels, worked on my birthday, slept on airport floors with my backpack as a pillow. I am not complaining just stating that holidays become irrelevant when you become a pilot.
