A few reasons why it is better to get it done on one bid. First of all it is a "bid what you want but want what you bid" system. Folks will have to think long and hard at what they really want to do and do it. Not get "feedback" from continual bids. Second, for all those near the bottom of their respective categories, it means only one MD and therefore one 30 day initial stay in either the ATL or Minny training center. New hire chums of mine got MD in the Jan bid from ER's to 73, then MD'ed again in the Aug bid from 73 to MD. That's three training programs in 18 months. Ouch. Finally, pyschologically it is better to just know sooner and deal with it then to have this virtual non-stop bid possibility hanging over our heads. You know that stresses folks out as we read it on these boards.
