I'll say 3 takers on this one...



You'd have to be one to bid it. Just say no!

Who was in the DVD? Actors? Or those that have been assimilated?

It depends upon what threat comes down down the road, but I say ZERO.

CALL THE POOLIES ALREADY PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!

It took gallons of purple koolaid to get them to act.

I'll say none bid it this time. It's really a laugh that our highly qualified management run our operation in this manner. But then "we had no leverage"

What is the saying? "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results?"....

I did watch the DVD with my dog...he's bidding it. So I'm in for 1.

I'm in for 0.

I think anyone even considering it is going to wait to see how the 777 pay/bid shakes out.

A bid to HKG=the whole 2+yr seat freeze (unless released by the VP of flight ops)

I know there are plenty of folks not in their right mind's.....but, just can't see somebody signing up for a 2yr tour for widebody FO pay when there is going to be a 777 bid in the near future that may create the opportunity for widebody FO pay stateside.

Create LOA3 with a COLA/housing allowance that adjusts annually, eliminate the tax equalization plan and replace with a tax neutrality plan.....
and the potential for guys to sign up is increased.

The FedEx beancounters made the company go cheap, and they are certainly reaping what they have sown. It is a problem the company has to fix, not the union

I'm going for 17 too. So many guys will bid HKG, I say there'll be an excess bid from HKG in November. Remember, it will go real senior.

Are you sure that is what happened.

You only get what you ask for (maybe). I think the union has some blame in this!
