Travel is 24/7 business. Religions celebrate differently. Flying on 25 December, no traffic, no stress. Working for a company that has good insurance, benefits is an extra. Employee is responsible for following policy and procedures. Always can find other employment.
Either does Southwest
When I first got hired by United after serving 19 months in Vietnam,I was told I have to work holidays and weekends. After 34 years I worked just about every holiday and most of my weekends and put my son thru collage . Today employees quit after working a few weekends cause they want the freedom of going out with there friends. Times have changed.
Regional Express here in Australian don't fly on Christmas Day.
"...doesn't fly on..."
Christmas is a Christian holiday. As long as the airline understands that the majority of the worlds population, and potential customers, don't celebrate this holiday, it's a good idea. Does El Al airlines fly on Yom Kippur?
Yom Kippur? Ha. El Al doesn't fly on Friday night-Saturday (Shabbos) or any Jewish holiday!
As a Jew, I respect and even encourage airlines in Christian-predominant countries (the US included) to close operations on Xmas. These holidays are to be taken seriously by their practitioners.

When other companies close for a staff appreciation party for instance, isn't that basically the same thing? They value a certain day and want everyone on their team to be able to get time off to celebrate it. Sounds plausible.
