With the way other things are scheduled, corrected for, and then rescheduled, I don't see one annual bid working for crew services. I see the annual bid happening in August, with perhaps different rules than we are currently familiar with, followed shortly by another bid to correct the deficiencies left with the original bid.

Will it be three months later? One month? Seven? I have no crystal ball that will say with certainty. What I AM certain of is that the folks behind the curtain that "run the show" will not be able to run said show with one bid per year, ever.
