My neighbor is an ATC and his big complaint is that you get the shit shifts for 10 years before you have enough seniority to pull weekday shifts.

Does this square with your experience?

For those who don't know:

Parallel construction is a law enforcement process of building a parallel - or separate - evidentiary basis for a criminal investigation in order to conceal how the investigation actually began.

In August 2013, a report by Reuters revealed that the Special Operations Division (SOD) of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration advises DEA agents to practice parallel construction when creating criminal cases against Americans that are actually based on NSA warrantless surveillance.[1] The use of illegally obtained evidence is generally inadmissible under the Fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine.

On my most recent booking for a week long stay I found the best price online for the specific place that I wanted to stay. I called up the front desk and asked if they could beat the price directly. "Maybe for one night, but not for a week."

Why would she be able to get me a single night for cheaper, but not my entire stay?
