Expect a reduction in the 72 and Airbus. Whether it is a true excess bid or just not filling secondaries in those seats he wasn't sure.

I'm just sayin'.....it would be nice
that way, we wouldn't have to get one here and try to collectively figure it out - even after he has made another public appearance to "clear up" what he meant in his latest "O" (for the love of God....here we go again) - Gram
wouldn't that be nice?

Thanks. I have asked around and get a bunch of I don't knows. I mean it is a new domicile for the MD. And I think the LOA covers Buses and not MD's, so there also lies another question/opportunity ALPA could capitalize on.
Just got in this morning. Nice day here so far.

c. Each posting shall be published and remain available for
bidding for the following minimum time periods:
i. 14 days for permanent vacancies or excesses at an
existing non-FDA domicile;
ii. 28 days for permanent vacancies or excesses at an
FDA base;
iii. 45 days for the initial posting of permanent vacancies
establishing a new domicile (including FDA domicile);
iv. 10 days for temporary vacancies.
The MD in HKG would fall under iii - initial posting establishing new domicile = 45 days
The LOA covers HKG and CDG - and is generic to ANY aircraft type based in those locations - so I wouldn't look for any enhancements offered in order for the company to open an MD11 Domicile in HKG.
The only way they're going to be required to re-negotiate the LOA is if they bail on CDG in Europe and use Zurich, Koln, or Prague? - or something OTHER than CDG.

I would assume O meant to say that secondaries would possibly be filled on the vacancy bid for the B777 and B757, since those seats are, according to him, short. I am speculating that he mentioned secondaries since none have been filled on any of the last few vacancy bids.
The excess bid would be in concert with, or separate from, the vacancy bid.
But don't take my word for since I often the dimmest bulb in the box.
