As soon as they have enough knuckleheads preload their standing bid with the FDAs to fill those FDAs!

If so, that could really screw up the company's estimates for the # of seats they'd predict they will to back fill domestically given their forecasts for on-property guys moving to the FDAs.
In the end, I think the FO slots will go unfilled and they'll need to recruit new hires to these FDAs.

I definitely agree with Huck...the standing bids are there for a purpose. Practice bids could help a lot of people plan....We are not negotiating with the company here. Any chance we could make this kinda sorta civil?Los1

What is this a conspiracy or a surprise?
I suppose you think they should publish the FDA standing bid without having the slots added to the selections??

Standing Bids and Practice Bids are 2 completely different things. Not brodcasting your intentions to the company via standing bid will not affect any practice bid that comes out as a result of a Posted Bid. My Standing Bid has 2 things, the seat I currently hold and 999. I'll wait to see the posting before it changes.
