You might be the first. Interesting look at the percentages pages. A lot of them stop in the 80% range. Supporting the theory of open seats and spots for new hires directly to the right seats of many positions in the fleet.

Encouraging movement.. We'll see next Tuesday for real though....

Purple Nuggets part deux? Hmm...I think the excess out of Anchorage doesn't look all that great in retrospect. Oops.

Cracks me up they still can't fill the right seat in HKG, even under the new improved LOA.

Right seat HKG caps out at 80%.

(yes I know it's a practice bid)

They didn't fill any right seats, other than the 777 and LAX.

why would you bid it now? When everyone on the property can hold WB FO in the US! Just like the 95 hires, good time to be walking in the door, albeit after a long wait for many in the pool.

look at the 727 SO, about the only people left are those that are not able to bid a window seat. Lots of training in the next 2 years.

I'm confused though. I bid Anchorage at 60% and was awarded it at 80%. That's not right unless I'm looking at something wrong!
