Here's a solution--cancel all pending training and remove those FOs already in training who are still current in the MD, bring them back to Anchorage, rebid the system after the new year break, then see what to do.
Why not just push the training letters out 3 months or so, get through peak, and then take a look, rebid assuming Flag Ops, retirements, more 777 and 757 guys, and the Hong Kong MD-11 base? Did I just say that out loud? Yeah yeah, I have a friend who knows this guy, etc. Except the guy who told my guy was JL and it was later mentioned again by another LCA who said the same thing. Bid for HKG 11 by March. You heard it here first.

Not that they are not going to attempt that, but this is different than canceling a vacancy posting, the pilots who have been excessed no longer hold that seat. The only way I see for the Company to bring more pilots back to the ANC seats is through a vacancy bid and then it is up to the seniority system to determine who holds the seat. When they canceled CDG, those pilots all had the rights to their old seats because they still could actually hold them.
I think what you are saying is the same thing, but just a stop gap measure?
