The pulled reduction bid isn’t really a big secret and s lot of guys have heard about it getting pulled.
We will all find out soon enough but this was the latest info from the last time a reduction was discussed a few months back.
Exactly what I heard to. Bendo had a call with Union reps in Jan and told them ORD was too big by 200 pilots and to expect a base reduction bid in the near future. I am guessing they delayed it knowing about opening two bases and are just going to roll it into one massive base distribution bid.
