The original awarded pilots would have the right to grieve the bid, a mess that's not necessary since the MEM 757 pilots don't start training until the end of '08.
A friend of mine who was awarded the 757 to MEM has not received a VIPs notification of training cancelled.
I think the vips notices just went out to the first couple of classes that have been canceled. For instance (reviewing the training letter) my 72 F/O class was canceled with vips notice but the next class has not been canceled. Since the M757 training dosen't start till October I would not be surprised at the lack of a vips notice yet.
