If, however, I just bid that 16th choice as number one and COULD have held something better, now I'm just going to be ****ed but have no one to blame but myself. Simply put, you don't know what you can hold until you bid for it.

This is why it's called a STANDING BID. You leave it in there and see what you can hold in each award. We've had plenty of problems with guys ****ing and moaning because someone junior to them got something they wanted, but they didn't bid for it. Nothing to do then.
We are saying the same thing amigo, I mean bid what you want and if you can hold it, good for you.

My point was that if these Colgan guys can bid the jet or hold CA before anyone else, do what you want, that is the gift of Bloch.

I would take every advantage I am given.
