Not to stir the pot...
I usually don't chime in on these discussions, but didn't we have an 800 Captain bid not too long ago? If it had only been a 550 Captain bid would we have been as doom and gloom as we are now? It seems to me this excess bid is nothing more than management once again showing they can't forecast crew manning with any reliability. You'd think they would go with shorter more manageable bids, like every other airline.
