I got clarification from FS today about it... apparently the bid wasn't nearly as specific as far as Airline/Aircraft/Seat were concerned from what the bid form looked like.

It gave me the impression that say you were awarded the 200 MSP CA position ... you would be bidding on a class date based on a criteria such as "9E MEM 200 FO". Looked pretty specific as far as where you were coming from in relation to where you were going to.

I was wrong apparently. Looks like said "9E MEM 200 FO" was competing with everyone else on the 200 FO trying to get to the 200 CA slot. Not just MEM guys.

Oh well. Again ... life happens. Have a shot and chillax
