Hmmmm

Strange indeed... I just looked at it from the main page 5 minutes ago, and now it's gone. Another "tweak" perhaps?

Maybe my prediction was a little too close to home. Lurkers might have pulled the plug.

After looking at the practice bid, I went to the homepage and the entire posting was gone. I hit the back button and can still view the results. Looks like Albie is interested in HKG captain now.

I'm sure he's just messing with the bid!

Hmmmm

Interesting. It was under "News" a few minutes ago. Now, it's gone.

As for timing, the bid closed yesterday morning. Yesterday, they said "results tomorrow." I would rather see them spend a day and get out something marginally realistic, as opposed to having some computer program (and we all know how well FDX IT runs) spit out the answer quickly.

Spend extra time to get an accurate bid? Why would they do that when they can just change their mind and cancel the entire bid?

Sure is a funny way to run a "world class" flight operations department? They should be embarrassed.

Please bring back JL as SCP. We had a lot fewer administrative problems back then.

It was there. I was logged on it, read your post and refreshed my browser, and it was gone.

I'm guessing it was in need of correcting the "oops, forgot to add that parameter" and is being re-run. After all how can you have 757 FO secondaries?
