No 365 Bid

The word at the last Training Base Meeting was that the next bid would not be a 365 bid nor did Crew Resources want anymore 365 bids.

Okay. Let’s say there is a 320A vacancy.
320b takes the 320a
88b takes the 320b

A 350a vacancy
320a takes 350a
320b takes 320a
88b takes 320b

Multiple iterations and just an example but even with the 350a if a 350/777b takes it, it still creates the same amount of movement

I was thinking the same thing. Now it’s a cleanup bid?

From what I understood, the Nov bid was more to take advantage of SIM availability through FEB2020. Thats why no 330 positions, SIMs were full until spring. With the increased hiring announced several months back, additional positions needed to be created as well, which sustains any staffing adjustments system wide. The Jan/Feb bid will be a continuation of the logic behind the Nov AE, but with MAR-MAY sim slot focus.

The company has said they are not going to displace from that category but will let it naturally decrease as people bid to other equipment. So in your example you could have A330B to A350A, end of training waterfall effect.

Standing by for Sailingfun to capitalize on one guy who makes an overly pessimistic prediction with a “but the forum said the sky was falling” post.

I have no idea what sailinfun thinks he is talking about...

The strange thing is I have been the one to post that both the Nov and planned Jan bid will not be what some are posting. It’s unusual on here for me to be the pessimist.
The thing some however can’t seem to grasp was the big bid was intended to cover the flying into summer of 2020. The extra bids and changes since then have been because network has expanded our block hour plans quite a bit since CR posted the bid and Airbus continues to struggle on deliveries causing fleet mix changes.
