With this system bid, it seems like every bid is a combo excess and vacancy and you have no idea until it closes if you've been excesses. Too bad for you if you just bought a house in Alaska or LA!
Am I reading it correctly?
Yes. That's the way I read it. Every bid CAN be a combo vacancy and excess bid. Therefore it probably WILL always be one.
I'm sorry, but I don't see where this is an IMPROVEMENT as far as the crew members are concerned. Why change the current system?
