Second Practice Bid
 

The second practice bid is out.:D

Looks like 33 open HKG FO vacancies and 14 open CDG FO vacancies.

If the real bid looks like the practice bids, I wouldn't be surprised if manglement cancels the bid and falls back to "re-evaluate". I know... the real bid WON'T look like the practice, but it does look like there's a very real possibility of a LOT of FO seats going unfilled. 33 Bus FOs being involuntarily STVed each and every month will make for a lot of discontent down the road, and "them chikin's come back to roost."

Wonder when the MEC will chime in and tell us that we need to bid these FDAs that they worked so hard to sell?

At least make them reconsider the Mad Dog bid in 08. Any one else notice the questions and answers have been removed. Hopefully more specifics will be available soon.

So, what's the deal? You guys all think that "O" is going into every RGS class and fibbing about putting new hires in those slots? I'm not saying it's not possible, but it seems like an awful lot of work to get a few guys to bid those spots.

Telling RGS classes that the slots will be filled with new hires should produce a collective sigh of relief as the audience realizes that doing so will greatly reduce the chance of being sent over on a STV.

To paraphrase George Costanza, it is not a fib if you believe it. What is policy today may not be policy tomorrow.

727 Capt.
 

The left seat 727 is going pretty junior. I was hired 9/05 and would hold Captain with a secondary (not even the most junior)...if I was so inclined.

The 727 practice award is for F/O, not capt.

No secondary 72 left seats.
