The size of this posting will create f/o vacancies across the fleet, and this will allow hiring to accelerate. Instead of waiting to hire due to the lack of 757 training slots, they can hire right away for Airbus and MD unfilled positions.

^^THIS^^
We're such a bunch of suckers.
I've rode on the crew bus all week and guys are giddy as schoolgirls about this bid. I thought some guys were going to **** their pants from the excitement.
"Should I bid 757 Capt or 777 FO?"
"Will I be able to hold XYZ weekends/double DHs/PM O&Bs, blah, blah, blah....."
If we put that thought and effort into not picking up open time or flying the scheduled DH for ONE FRIGGING MONTH, we'd have a contract signed.
This is why our management has no respect for us. We do it to ourselves. I don't blame them for dragging their feet. I'd do the same thing if I were them.

If he starts his next post off with "May I mambo dogface to the banana patch?", I think I might know the source of the problem.
