For example, October bid packets were posted on Sept. 2 with bids due 8am Sept. 7th for CAs and 8am Sept. 8th for FOs. Results of the bid are usually posted by 11am the day they are due. There are some minor fluctuations on the timing in the month but it follows the typical pattern.
Phase 2 (reserve and relief lines) are later in the month. For October Phase 2 bid packets are posted on Sept. 16th and the bid closes on Sept. 20th.
Gawwwd...I hope we don't go with ASA's system. I know a lot of people here at XJT I've talked to are already annoyed with incessant myMessages crap. Enough's enough already. If I have to open another email to open myMessages to open a message to open an attachment I am going to loose my mind!
You know your schedule by the 8th?! Oh mai gawd.
Please let us get this.
