Why would you jump off an airplane 2 months before it’s going to be parked? No seat lock if you get displaced. That doesn’t make any sense.
Plus, look at last June bid. Group 2 captain dropped 400.
I just think the Holliday’s are a bit of a psychological barrier, once padt them, more people will bid. Additionally, there are people who think the company could decide to screw them over by training earlier (in December). This bid is entered after the holidays, that makes it feel safer to bid.
Just guessing, I hope Im wrong by the way, my seniority is in the range of most of your guesses, so...
