I was involved in the union auditing job at my last airline. I watched the computer publish the bids for 1700+ and it took on average 22 minutes for the program to spit out be resukts (FLICA, not our MSDOS software that Delta probably uses). The results published to the group within one hour of bids closing.
One other point, the guy who started this thread asked a question. Then gets chastised. Valid question since this is not normal to not have A’s awarded by pay day. He may not have known that there were illegal rotations in ATL.
“What are you willing to trade for that?” This is a question that needs to stop being asked at every single turn. It’s a weak approach to negotiating, especially on small ticket items.

The timeline doesn’t bother me much but knowing that the computer is capable of spitting it out within an hour (or a few hours, at worst) but they take 5 days is the troubling thing. It leads me to believe they are running the awards, modifying and tweaking, then running again. How often are the resulting bids better for me and how often are they better for the company?
The few times I got a glimpse of my schedule and then it changed, it was never better after the change.

I'm pretty used to every response here being a combative one. I'd say most people who come on this forum, do so either to lurk and learn, or because they're mad at something. Being chastised by people stating obvious things are, like line awards, a simple expectation.
