And BTW, did you notice two or three guys got awarded 76T in the vacancy bid??
I don't get the 76T awards… unless there is a loophole that allows them to backfill movements (like mine) to keep the min staffing up. I was going to wait to bid the 777 in the Spring but after seeing the March outlook the flying was grim (CDG and AMS)… figured reserve on 777 would be better option! My guess is that there will be a couple other big bids in the next 6 months… one in Fall and one in Spring. Have you seen the flying on 756 out of DCA? Unless your in the top 20% you'll be doing a lot of 757 flights to Ireland and UK… no thanks!
