Cupid

Team Diplomacy & Scheduling

Cupid handles the flight team's internal scheduling and, more often than the job description suggests, its disagreements — a role that suits a reindeer widely regarded as the most level-headed of the group. Whenever a dispute breaks out over routes, rotations, or who gets the good stall, Cupid tends to be the one everyone agrees to let decide. It's a soft-power kind of leadership, and it works better than anyone expected when Cupid first started doing it, unofficially, decades ago.
