December 2009.Air Emirates Crew Roster.

This was destined to be a dreaded Standby month. And in my opinion what an awful month to not know what you are working! However it seems I am wrong. According to 'Galley Gossip', on Emirates, if you are rostered to work over the festive season and call in sick, you get sacked! (if this is not true please comment). I find this rather harsh, as some people do really get sick over Christmas and New Year.
However, once again it was a case of skiping 'Reserve' and received her December Rota via email on the 29/11/09. So here goes;
