No, I can confirm at least one F/O had it on his standing bid, could hold it, but didn't get it. I saw his standing bid.

Just goes to show, the practice bids are not for us. They are for the company can to get their act together and figure out what everyone's standing bid really is.

WOW!!!

My hat's off to the company. Pretty easy to set folks up, eh? I don't remember this chapter in "Confessions of a Union Buster".

I've gotten 3 emails today...

2 from guys who did NOT bid it and were awarded the 777...
1 from a guy senior to me who bid it and was not awarded it....

There is a glitch somewhere. Conspiracy? I doubt it. Mistake? Yep...there are some.

Stand by for more words from official channels.

Hey Sean...welcome to APC. The water's fine....(grin!)

Somehow they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory...
