I could see too many games being played with it though because it's so serious to so many people but i like the idea. Maybe they should say bid opens 10th, sometime after the 21st we will run the bid and if it looks like it will require too much training and displacements then we may tweak the bid. Otherwise we will run it. So basically it'd force people to bid early and bid like they mean it. But that might not work either. I guess they can just cancel it if they don't like it but that'd be a real mess too. We will need a 767 flying between hubs to handle deadheading.*

I guess it could be low if everyone asked for max credit but I'm sure people would rather do a ATL-BNA-ATL two day on white slip or green slip then be commited to max credit. So hopefully the lines exceed estimated.*

FTB,

I am not sure if it works that way. *I think the max credit relies on some people requesting min credit. *For example, If there are 100 lines and 7200 hours the ALV would be 72.*
*
So if everyone were to request max credit it would seem to be self defeating because contractually the ALV has to within a window, so it could not award everyone max credit without raising the ALV and lowering the number of lines as you suggest. *Now if half the guys request min credit the other half could get max credit without raising the ALV.
*
Then again I could be 100% wrong on this issue.

Scoop, that makes a lot of sense to me. So I guess if everyone bid max credit then they'd only get alv as that was the max credit possible?*
