This is the first of the really big ‘movement’ bids. A friend of mine got the 777 in DFW and we was over a hundred away on the Aug bid. On this bid, he got it and so do almost 60 below him! He’s going to be a lineholder instantaneously.

I was over 2900 away from the 777 in DFW in the Aug bid - I’m now less than 800... and the movement hasn’t even begun in earnest yet.

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised to be 300ish from DFW 777. Now I actually have to start thinking about a move (equipment, not family), it was all notional before:cool:.

I hope this movement continues on the next bid. Any ideas when the next bid may be?

So far the cycle has been March-June-September-December.

As the financial ads are required to say "past performance is no guarantee of future performance."

What did the message say, something like over 1,000 people moved around? That's a bunch. Roughly 7%. On an annual basis that's 27%.

I think it is worth considering, the bids are targeting vacancies that exist approximately 4-6 months in the future. We tend to think of retirements in an yearly framework, but in reality, there could be months where there are huge changes to the bid statuses, and some less huge, based solely on how many butts are anticipated to leave seats on that 4-6 month horizon. Adding to that is the unknown master plan for new hire assignments... (which admittedly has less impact on the WB conversation)

Just food for thought.

Edit: there may be smaller runs as a result of training capacity as well

Dude you shouldn’t Telegraph how happy you are with certain parts of the contract. Our agreement is woefully inadequate until all sections are brought up to industry standard or better. That should be the mantra that management hears. :)

The vacancy announcement wasn't anything exciting but the results proved otherwise.

How do they assign training? Seniority?
