After reading the e-mail from Risch, this is a very unusual situation.

Company needs folks up in ANC and MEM in Bid 1. Some junior duded bid MEM then ANC and get ANC. More senior guys go 727 or just put MD11 MEM and don't get an award.

Before awardees of bid 1 are activated we get Bid 2. Folks in ANC(or headed there) get awarded a move down to MEM.

The lucky bidders of ANC in bid 1 who haven't trained yet get to keep their training dates ahead of MEM bound folks from bid 2 (many who are senior but did not bid ANC in bid 1)

I agree it would be nice to give some money out on this one. But c'mon, how is this a conspiracy? The company builds a training schedule the best they can in bid 1 and it makes sense to keep it intact before bid 2 is processed. What may seem fair to the more senior dudes is screwing the junior guys, again. They were the ones with the cojones to bid ANC and hope for the best. Maybe you're just mad they figured out how to work inside the rules. Have the more senior junior dudes been screwed over so bad that they want to disrupt everyone else in their wake??

Seniority is everything you say.......Greed is a terrible thing

If you're mad at the newhire MD-11 situation, that is entirely different. Did the company warn you they were going to do that before the bid closed out??
