Yup. This is why what is posted on the AE doesn't really mean anything to me. I don't bid based on what is posted on the AE, I bid based on what I want to fly, so I've always kept standing bids. One of the first things I did after we got access to iCrew during indoc, was get in there and put in my bid for WB B. There really is no excuse for the people who are upset about DTW350Bs being awarded when it wasn't listed on the AE. Backfills can always be a thing...even when they say they won't backfill lol. I've also kept a pretty robust displacement bid in, just in case.
