My dad worked on that system. He had some very bitter things to say after FLT 800.

11 days per solar year, but don’t they also stick in an extra month when the lunar calendar gets too far out of sync with the seasons?

You want a real mess? Look at the old Roman calendars! There were three months in the winter that weren’t on the calendar at all! Ten day weeks, one day of weekend

He’s right if that system wasn’t incorporated at the time.

We took FLT 800 a number of times.

I’m sorry, I don’t know much about those crazy calendars. I read about the Roman ones once. I got so confused and felt bad for poor February! Anytime they wanted something almost personal, they borrowed a day from February! At least, I remember something like that.
