If you bid the 757, expect delays in training and/or delivery. You may end up pouring coffee longer than if you had bid the 727 or even a widebody. Good luck.

Take a look at how many 3 and 4 departure lines there are in the bidpack.
If you are senior to the nuggets you should be ok. If you are junior and commute your life will suck....Standard.

I'll figure something out; at least I'm on the property, maybe we'll hire some bros next year.

Fredex,
that may just be a function of the 5 week bid month in july. Look back a few months at the bottom guys for a broader picture of what's going on.
