Next back-at-ya around the corner...

1. ANC-MEM, MEM-LAX, LAX-MEM, LAX-ANC, ANC-LAX, don't forget your full move package, including the sell your home option.

2. All those being bumped down a pay grade, make sure you don't fail training, otherwise you will have to go back to where you are now!

3. Those that were awarded HKG to prevent a backward progression, make sure you sign that LOA otherwise there is a new LOA out there that says you won't go, and will have to stay where you're at for 2 years!

This is going to be fun to watch.

What they mean is that some of the most junior pilots here are in HKG, so if the company furloughed, they would be shooting themselves in the foot, because they would be furloughing out of HKG.

I think it's comical....look at the numbers on the 11MEM...who now have to commute to 11ANC!! Good luck getting those jumpseats!!

What a joke! How on earth is this going to work?

Practice bid number 2 will put the nail in the coffin for this excess bid goat-rope!! HKG will get filled...end of story.

This WHOLE thing doesn't pass the sniff test!!

It would be comical to see HKG get filled on the practice bid 2 and then everybody withdraw their names for the final.

The beatings (excess bids) will continue until the morale improves (HKG gets filled).

Everyone pulling their bid for the final? Not likely.
