Considering how training is a joke right now, I agree that they are probably trying to un**** the mess they have made before offering another vacancy bid.
When you consider-
Unfilled Capt slots
Open ended LCA/TI positions on all fleets
Numerous Pilots Pay Protected on other equipment
Pilots at home waiting for training.. and
Pilots being sent back to training due to exceeding their time between LOE and IOE

We're in for a long long bumpy ride.

Yes, we ALL want our company to do well. But the reality is, we have now been dragged into a hole where it will take a while to get out. Just as we thought/hoped CoVid might be in the rear view mirror, the world got stupid again last Fall into this Winter. Now, as we thought THAT might be coming to an end.. Russia decides to have a dick measuring contest (where thousands of innocent people will die/lose everything).
We can only hope that this is a short term event but if this last longer and Europe/America tries to punish them.. I expect our Summer flying will go to **** and any Russia Overflight might be out of the question with regards to some of our longhaul stuff.

Bid?! Company doesn't like bad news so they will probably keep their heads in the sand until they have to.
Someone mentioned a Contractual reason to have a bid based on unfilled positions. Maybe that person can put the contract language up with a date.

Till then-
