I used to work for an airline. They had no concept of Holidays and due to this they scheduled training, sometimes in the most out of the way and distant places even on the holidays. Many people wanted and needed to spend time with their families over the Christmas to New Year period and if one had the seniority, you would schedule vacation time for this period.
If you didn't have the seniority to win the bid for the holiday vacation slot but you did have sick days well you can figure what happened.
There was absolutely no incentive to train over this period. Some states required overtime pay, even if training and some didn't. I remember that the foreman who scheduled the training and even set up the trainers transportation and overnight accommodations were at the mercy of the union to clue them into what was required. Sometimes they were left with serious egg on their faces. Maybe Mr. Wiley didn't realize there may have been a difference between state labor laws or maybe he didn't realize that a different state required ot rates. Just guessing but it also could be that the trainees felt that they could be trained at a later date since the installation process is so easy to learn or they may not have felt it was worth losing a holiday vacation, especially if not getting paid overtime rates. Mr. Wiley gets the benefit of the doubt from me anyway as he has been consistent whenever it was in his power to do so.
