I know perfectly how a BAT bid works. Please tell me where I'm not correct. BAT works for 756/76T switch in same base. Where's the confusion? The one example i gave was a junior person going from LAX 756 to SFO 76T. Didn't say he did a BAT bid. He was able to cross-fleet and was under two years in the current bid (actually less than 1 year), so there was no freeze. Now tell me what you're smoking? Please, by all means, tell me where I'm wrong.

Also, I have put out the most accurate info. I have "getting bumped" passing out info he got from some CAP, that got it from his maintenance man, that got it from the cook in Denver Ops. Give me a break. We have new-hires needing the latest info, right or wrong, but info that is coming from a credible source(s). Not once have I said there was going to be a 756 base opening in SFO. But 756 flying is slowing building because of LAX Deadheads going up there to fly the SFO trips that will eventually be part of that base flying AFTER the fleets merge. And for "Getting Bumped", who do you think is going to do the Hawaii flying from SFO? Please don't think the POS 737s, since they are losing a bunch of it to the 757s that we are keeping in the system. Unreal, how people want to trash info, when it doesn't coincide with theirs. I'm all for any info, but not from some "senior CAP Joe Schmo". I rather take it from what's been published or being disseminated from ORD Hqrts, or ALPA MEC guys, or Manpower planning. No one is going to disclose their "insiders". Give me a break! But don't have some new-hires relying on a cook or Smisek's dog walker. Geez.
