1st, both VP of Ops JG and Chief Pilot said that ANC is not in the cards for closure.

2nd, VP of Ops said that the bid would be delayed until the futures dudes and dudettes come up with their projection for the next year. Due in March, they are still trying to read the tea leaves. Until they issue their prognosis, the bid will be delayed. JG said that a limiting factor in the picture is the "end of the training schedule." So although a March bid was promised, they are reluctant to put out another one until the tea leaves are fully interpreted.

Chief Pilot said that a bid would have to be put out so that the capacity of the school house was not idled. Take that for what it is worth.....
