Thanks for the info and heads up....I too just got the MEC-Fastread.

I fully understand, and respect the need for definite validity concerning this bid. I'm fully aware it has a 100+ possible furloughs woven in the balance....I do feel for those guys/gals, DONT misinterpret that. Waiting to find out if you do, or DONT have a job is beyond the words of "This sux".

At the same time, this is all computer generated....the same as our PBS bid which still takes 4+ days, give me a break!!!

It's not a huge puzzle...the RFL's are based very clearly on the LOA as stated, 2:1....The LOA's were to be submitted in concert with the same closing/deadline as the bid on the 24th....unless I'm missing something concerning longer leaves being the 'boom-a-rang' of confusion concerning the bid?

All I am saying....I think there is something going on outside the bid. Either there are No Furloughs, or some Furloughs, pretty simple. Call me a "conspirator theorist", but if you think the company is out for the 'best interest' of the pilot group....your 'nutz'
