Move the whole thing forward several weeks. The "late" bids at sUA were one of the contract concessions to enable "marketing" more time to play with their schedule.
Guess what? If marketing does not have plan for October by August we've found the problem.
Other airlines have their PBS awards before we even see the bid package. That's the real problem and a faster mainframe to run the PBS optimization is only a bonus and not the actual solution.
