International Civil Aviation Day

[Arnold]

Not to take anything away from the Pearl Harbor commemorations, I just wanted to note that today is:

International Civil Aviation Day

see: http://www.icao.int/icao/en/aviation_day.htm

shouldn't this be a paid day off?

Any day that the gusts are below 30 knots, the sky is blue, and health is good ought to be a paid day off.

Seems a bit self serving having this day

The purpose of the global celebration is to generate and reinforce worldwide awareness of the importance of international civil aviation in the social and economic development of States, and of the role of ICAO in promoting the safety, efficiency and regularity of international air transport.
