I predicted weeks ago that the bid would be plagued with "vendor contractor software errors" (remember when JL used that excuse on another bid?). Give me a break ... we deserve better support than we get from management!

I wonder if they are going to use the same data or run another practice bid. I've already changed my standing bid again.

My guess is that they are trying to maximize the excesses while minimizing the relieving excess to reduce training cycles.

I wonder if they will as well. I also changed my standing bid---but it was based on the RESULTS of Bid 2. If Bid 2 is incorrect, I would like to have kept the original standing bid, to see how that stacked up..... but if people have changed the bid, then the second bid #2 practice re-run will not be the same----even without the errors.

All this is making my head hurt.

"We are aware of some errors that occurred during the CATIIIB approach, we will try again on Friday".

Just wondered what it would sound like if us unskilled pilots tried that excuse!

I think this is bogus. The Company can run a standing bid any time they want. The bean counters and attorneys can analyze the results. I think they didn't like what they were seeing.
