Not sure who is running it, but they are not doing the displacements like lUAL did in the past 15 years. If they wanted to bump a bunch of pilots, they would keep bumping, in quick succession, until they got the excess mostly out of the base they wanted.

The DEN bumps they did one big bump first, and most of the pilots just bumped to a different seat in DEN, where they now sit. Didn't really solve the personnel problem. If they do IAH the same way, it also won't help.

It doesn't appear that Manpower has a clue.

I am not sure that lCAL's old twice yearly system bid wasn't better than what we are using now (and lUAL used before). With monthly bidding, it might make it easier for MP to change their mind more often. With the system bids, they were locked in for a while. I never lived under this system, so I can't say yeah or nay how it was.
