I read it via the monthly update from Steve Dickson. At the bottom it had a link to the CR newsletter. Basically, to mitigate the back flow of pilots as a result of the MD88 closures in NYC and CVG, when they know we are taking delivery of a lot of aircraft, (they don't want guys to get displaced, trained, then move back up to something higher paying and trained again) they are going to post every known vacancy for the next 12 months and make it a 365 day bid.

It's a smart move to reduce training, but like any bid with a lot of seats available, some seats are going to go really, really junior. I wish I wasn't seat locked....I'd bid 330A. That seat lock is going to save me from myself.
