--I assume because it is a 28 day bid cycle, that there are 13 bids a year?

-Yes

--Are CVG/SMF the only 2 out station basing right now?

-Yes

--Alas, when pilots do get an overnight how are the hotels?

-Very decent, so far has been Hiltons, Sheratons, Radisson Blu, Double Tree, and at a last minute layover I was in a La Quinta.

I really enjoyed the experience yesterday.
