Depending on initial size of the FDAs, the posting very well would have allowed filling of the FDAs with those such as yourself, whose personal circumstances favor bidding them under the current (well, current at that time) CBA. A very small cadre of new hires may have been needed for the F/O seats.

The benefits to the Company of the LOA and accompanying attachment is substantial. Unfortunately, now we will never really know how much it was worth to them.

For those reading, and planning on bidding one of the FDAs, anyone else that would have bid it without the LOA? Just curious.
