From the union:

"The Company provided a Section 25 (Scheduling) proposal. Most noteworthy, the proposal contained a form of Preferential Bidding, which would function system-wide."

For starters, it would be the END of vacation as we know it. And unfortunately, that might be the least of our worries with pref bidding. Inform yourself! Talk with friends at pax carriers who now have pref bidding. Hopefully FedElta will post regarding his experience with pref bidding vs. line bidding, as he has done in the past. Please, inform your block rep of your opinion on pref bidding.

If pref bidding is in any way, shape, or form, in the next CBA, my vote will be an automatic NO, without reading anything else in the contract.
