By the time PBS got to me I knew I would be working 12/24-12/25.
So I did not even ask for those days off!! I just said ok if I have to fly I want these trips!!
Well it says my very first choice was pulled during a reshuffle. Instead of being with relatives over 12/24. I have two trips one ends too late to get home 12/24 and then I have another trip leaving on 12/25! Perfect if I lived in base!
But the kicker! My very first trip that I wanted is still in open time!
W T F??
anyone know why??

If she's mainly using it to read, I'd get the Paperwhite. My wife and I have owned many models of Kindle over the years, and for pure reading, the e-ink models can't be beat. We also own iPads, and while those are great for internet and media consumption (movies, games, etc...) - the screens aren't ideal for extended periods of reading, especially in bright light.
That said, if you're looking for a full-on communication device that'll let her browse the net, write e-mail, and so on - get the Fire (or iPad Mini). If she's a big reader, you'll be buying her an e-ink Kindle later on anyway.

Would your preferred trip put you outside of the LCW? That bought me a 3 day uncummutable on both ends vs a 4 day commutable both ends that paid 4 hours more.

Too many trips were left after it gave you your original trip, so the senior guys were set, the junior guys were set and there you were...
Dont ask why I know... did the same thing 2 years ago.
Gotta bid avoid those trips to force them on another schmuck who forgot to do that...
Cheers
