Anyone heard rumors of how bidding will work for aa/dl flying. I have heard one pairing you might fly aa and the next might be dl, but heard today that you will bid for an entire month of aa or dl flying. I might not be thinking of all angles but bidding for an entire month sounds bad because you never know what people ahead of you are bidding and one month you might be senior/junior depending on what people above you bid.

Come on people, it's not difficult. Many airlines operate for many different mainline carriers... think Skywest?!?!
We'll have AA pairings and we'll have DL pairings. One trip might be AA then the next might be DL. They won't be intermixed however. Bidding for an entire month of one airline?! Doesn't that create basically two cateogries??

I heard during a recent orientation day that they were told LIDO's will be the iPad subscription.

You heard right. A select few people are using them on the line right now during a trial and testing phase. Supposedly the whole pilot group gets them December or early next year. I don't think they're very popular among the test pilots.

I imagine because Lido is a terrible product compared to Jepps. If NAS plates were available it would be a step up.

Lido charts are absolutely horrible. Horrible enough to dampen the excitement of ridding myself of my flight bag and revisions. Still happy to be done with revisions though, just not looking forward to all the ASAP reports.
