I'd love to have bids every month but I'm also realistic in wants. I'm hopeful that after the large wave is done it will come back.
Most here don't realize the pay and work rules were so bad back then trading something like 12->4 bids a year seemed like a no-brainer.
A lot of what? Retirements? Again: retirements happen regardless of how many vacancy bids there are. The company can withhold you for a year for anything that requires training. After that training you are locked for 2 years.
Pilots just wanna switch bases maybe seasonally or get into the base they want instead of watching new hires get awarded their seat. People moving around in the same seat is meaningless.
Monthly bidding won’t create mass training backups unless it’s grossly mismanaged.
