With you super awesome seniority Jsled, why don't you just bid your captain slot on this current vacancy bid?
1) Doesn't matter. Do you think the company is going to sit on 30 extra Captains in a base? They are bumping right now. There have been bumps almost every month since January somewhere in the system. If your logic made sense that "bumps cause a bubble" why did they displace all these pilots already?
2) Why would he "bid" and take a freeze, when he can bump and go without freeze. That way when the fences drop in 2 years and
Sled realizes he would be in the top 20% of 787 FO's he can just bid over to that seat if he wanted. I haven't "bid" an airplane for 14 years! I've just waited for the bump to cherry pick where I wanted to go.
