For those of you who knew this was coming, time to say I told you so.

Another posting for the 757 and HKG positions included will be posted in a new bid shortly.

Amazing isn't it.

The bright side is that we'll need more crews...

After reading the recent FCIF I remain disappointed. How many canceled bids in the past 2 years does this make?

Either:

- Management isn't doing their proper homework prior to opening foreign domiciles and associated FDA bids (or they wait to do it until after the bid is open?)

... 0r ...

- They simply aren't being honest with us (although this latest FCIF sounds suspiciously honest)

In either case, we deserve better! We would be fired if we did a half-*ssed job like that

I heard that one of the French Flt and Duty time laws that we would fall under is that the company would have to provide those little bottles of red wine with our scoobie snack on flts of more than 2 hrs.

Or they pulled some creative negotiations by promising the senior guys in the union a paid vacation in paris. All they would have to do is agree to this HKG thing for half the price. Whoops it is not our fault those crazy French wont agree to do it our way.

You won't see me in the first group bidding a FDA because of this.

Too many details to be worked out at the midnight hour. And after too.

Or that promotion you turned down, or house we sold, or our kids we told had gone to the last day of their "old" school in May...

Um, never mind.

Words fail me right now.

A$$clowns are running this place right now.

2 options:

A) They are no good at their job.

B) They are trying to get over on us.

I don't like either one.
