It's certainly not worth wasting capital on during contract talks. We could probably get them same day, though we may not like the results. If anything, knock a day or two off our bid window. This isn't the days of 6+ day trips with zero access to the internet, do we really need 7 days to bid?




Can anyone remember a time they published them that late? I'm sure it's happened, but I can't remember a time we've gotten them that late. I'd guess I could count on one hand, the number of instances that's happened. Agreed that this is too late though.

New phone, so can't go back to all my ALPA text alerts, but it seems like every couple months there are a couple categories that have to re run.

But seriously, due by 1800 on the 11th, the computer could have them done and sent to ALPA for checking by 1900.
