Maybe they all bid it, so that the company is not able to say that the Union told everyone not to. Long shot...

It is all a poker game. Not your bad. This whole industry is a jigsaw puzzle. It is hard to figure out which hand the candy is in, no matter who you are. My bad if I was misleading on the pay as overnite said 777 and md pay the same, I tried to put it in a different light. LEVERAGE... I hope we figure it out, the sky ahead seems to be dark.

They do pay the same!

Default Re: MEC Jumpseat Chair

I just spoke with R.O., our MEC Jumpseat Chair and he told me that the 777 isn't even on his standing bid. His bid was entered 11/17/08 at 23:09z, VIPS ref. number 841795 and does NOT include ANY 777 seats.

So, how about everyone take a chill pill and personally contact your reps and ask if the 777 is on their standing bid - you might be supprised.

I did and R.O. says that the bid is definitely incorrect regarding his Standing Bid. R.O. is going to call Contract Admin first thing in the morning to figure out *** is going on!

Just thought you should know...

Angry Shut your YAPS

Review Standing Bids
R O
Entered on: 11/17/08 2309z
Current Seat: MEM 11F
You have 10 standing bid preferences in the system. Your Reference Number is 841795

Bid Code Description
1. 210 Memphis, MD11, Captain, 100 Percentile
2. 510 Memphis, A300, Captain, 100 Percentile
3. 310 Los Angeles, MD11, Captain, 100 Percentile
4. 410 Anchorage, MD11, Captain, 100 Percentile
5. 710 Memphis, 757, Captain, 100 Percentile
6. 915 Memphis, 727, Captain, 50 Percentile
7. 220 Memphis, MD11, First Officer, 100 Percentile
8. 520 Memphis, A300, First Officer, 100 Percentile
9. 320 Los Angeles, MD11, First Officer, 100 Percentile
10. 910 Memphis, 727, Captain, 100 Percentile

Kinda makes you wonder why you will be working Christmas doesn't it? If they can't get this bid right...then how about your December schedule?

Respectfully,

R.O.

I got a return email from SM ( he posted on another thread) saying the same thing, not in his standing bid, and that the lawyers will be looking into it tomorrow morning! Still awaiting responses from VT (my block rep), DR, and JG.

Plz apologize my ignorance here but I'm just a lowly brown guy - is the disagreement the fact people are bidding a new aircraft before the pay rate has been set? or is it something else?
