this bid is very suspicious. it is meant for the closure of the seattle domicile in december 2013. in my opinion, it was totally unnecessary to put this bid out now, when it couldve been combined with the june bid vacancy. so although this bid says no more hiring this year, the june bid will probably say otherwise.
well, and that's why I said "ASS"ume.... so those 11 slots are not inclusive of the 26 displacements then? hmm.... Very confusing... Also add to this the "fact" that we're giving back 4 767's as we take 5 A330s, right? or is this not even factored in yet?

I know the MEC is still fighting to keep SEA open but it seems the company has made up their mind irrespective.
