I was leaving on a long-term military deployment shortly after new years. I wanted to spend xmas with my two year old child before I left. The young guy who picked up my xmas four day had four little kids and he said he needed the money to pay for his family holiday (yes SLC base). While were both regional FO's, I was going to be on tax-free combat pay for one year+ so money wasn't an issue.
Seemed like a win/win. How is that anyone else's business? Especially since this is the opposite of the vacay situation... I didn't specifically bid for a xmas trip in hopes of having to pay to get rid of it
And it was more than $100, even way back then.
