FDX: April SIG notes

Even though we need it to be zero DP's, and to get them all resolved before the build, there is only one DP across all bidpacks for APR. Nice to see this for a change. It should make it very easy for our 777 brothers to not pick it up.

....480 views without comment. Maybe this isn't the place for good news.

Glad to see we only have one disputed pairing for April. Would love to see an analysis from the SIG on what has changed. Meanwhile........1 day before Capt APR bid closes and still no accepted fare data available........class acts there in Mgmt........its always the liitle things that make the difference.

I actually look at the accepted fare data during my bid process. I don't normally bid the lines that have very low banks. I too would like to see the accepted fare data available earlier in the bid process.

You can individually get fares for a single line in BidX as of yesterday. Still can't get fares for the whole thing

Ergo, mgt will say the accepted fares were published. . . make lemonade

Also, still haven't heard back from the 777 futures guy on my vacation question that I asked on Monday. Elite troops

If you bring up individual trips in VIPS the accepted fares are there. Yep, they're published as far as mgmt is concerned.

Hey APPDUDE, any fix for this? Even querying individual lines for accepted fares only yeilds the total Acc. fare for the whole line .......no individual trip breakdown....

Good luck with that. I have left messages with futures several times over the past few years (they will never actually answer their phone) and I have NEVER received a call back or email, NEVER! Why they even publish their phone number is a mystery to me.

When I need a question answered by futures, if I can't get my guy on the line, I call back and choose another aircraft seat until I get someone. Sometimes it takes 3 or 4 tries, but I have always been able to get someone, and they can all can answer the question.
