No disrespect....just saying
None taken. It just seemed silly. My partner in 757 school was chosen for MD-11 and showed a day early. While in training, bid out of the seat to an FDA. I don't think he flew more than 2 revenue trips off IOE before he was off the jet. Likewise, people who weren't 'selected' bid to the -11 on the same bid.
It's a great idea until the first bid...
