Blows my mind, what happens when a ab fo holds a capt slot in the previous (canceled bid) and now during the "rebid" can't hold capt? Total BS!!!! This is more devastating than a 20% pay cut. I'd take a 20% pay cut knowing I could hold w/b capt in less than 2 years vs. the 5 now!
What about the fo's on the boeing that bid to the w/b? What happens to them now...years of substandard pay.

If we are so overmanned and need to cancel the current bids 0702 and 0703, then why do we have to have another bid in the next week? The only reason is to allow the over 60 guys a chance to get back to the window and not go another day without that bigger pay. It'll be real interesting to see how this all pans out. The reasonable approach would have been to let the training cycle play out and then reassess the situation (new bids etc.), but to be so obtuse and cancel current bids and then have another in a week (since the FAA age has been elevated) is extremely poor taste.

I still think it is to fill the FDAs. I doubt if there will be too many Capts on the next bid since the 59 year olds wont be leaving as planned. Hopefully those already over 65 will be stuck in the back.
