FDX - Practice Bid #2 Delayed
Per FCIF:
Question: I wonder when the next 08-02 practice bid will be out?
Answer: You mean what week?
Two issues: one is the last practice bid has to fall within 3-7 days of closing. That’s the contract stuff, so we either have to delay it 2 days or have another one after the next one (guess we confused May with February?). Lucky for us we don't have to make that decision because there’s the other issue...software. It still doesn't work correctly. I’d be too embarrassed to keep using it as an excuse if it wasn’t true....and I'm just the messenger. The good news is that now the practice bid will be within the required time period. If they get it figured out, it’ll come out no earlier than Friday and we’ll advertise its existence when it happens. If it isn't out by Monday, the bid closing will be delayed. Good blog fodder for conspiracy theories.

can someone please explain why we are excessing out of the 727 SO seat? if we are overmanned, why take people out of the lowest paying seat - even if there is no flying for them there? there are just going to be more widebody pilots on reserve, right??
