No offense but if they succeed in getting a significant improvement to the FDA LOA then it should be entirely re-bid. Why should everyone else have to face the meat grinder and loose thier seats? I had one Captain going to HKG tell me the company did not need to make the LOA better as they only needed a small group. He was 55 empty nester and had 3 yrs with the company so it worked for him. I have several friends loosing their Captain seats, so why should they not be able to exercise thier senority.

The fact is, this is what was offered and was voted on.
It would be different if the initial amount was subsequently reduced after the bid had been awarded.
Everyone had a chance to go. Actually, I think the pool of HKG pilots should only have been chosen from the people who voted in favor of the LOA.
Just my opinion.

Hiflyr, there are no time machines here and we can't go back. Had the living expense offset been what our Union had recently proposed when the bid and LOA were agreed to, many of the players, in my opinion, would have been different.

Posting 9-01 is a farce. 90 Captains and 46 FOs at the end of the bid? Are they going to flush HK? I am thinking everyone should take the section 6 package and send over their metal shop equipment(not sure if SH would allow that).

not loose or loosing, which means you might want to tighten it.
A+ for consistency though.
