With the way TDYs are most companies are set up, they are usually very valuable compensation wise, so the guys who can't hold the base such as your friend there can't hold them anyway because they go to really senior line holders who could have held the base in the first place. I'm not telling you they wouldn't bid a TDY, I'm telling you that usually a TDY pays enough that those guys don't get to do them.
