1) Do you guys think I should hold out and bid on the July/August AE to be safe?
2) If so, do you think WB spots will still be open?
My fear is not bidding now and missing out then the senior folks bid on the next AE to avoid summer training. Not sure how this usually trends but I’d imagine Fall is a great time for training.
Thanks! I’ve reached out to AE planners via email but have had no luck with responses.
If it’s life or death as you say it is, the only safe play is don’t bid on this AE. They may work with you on a conflict, or they may not.
To answer your questions, given the importance of this event:
1) Yes
2) Depends on your seniority, but yes
