Some forward looking pilot will get the A bid really junior. Power thru the horrible trips until the NEO arrives, then will be cruising the Pacific to Hawaii while 10 year pilots complain about being able to hold LAX a year from now[emoji23]

Do you actually buy into what you are saying? Not saying you’re wrong, but darn man, stop drinking the kool-aid.

Wish you were around when we all got furloughed. We needed some of that fresh tasting Kool Aid!

Usually 1 min before bids closed guys could see what they would be awarded.

Did your last airline have bypasses? Those are why that type of system would be nearly useless here.

I hope not. At 11:58am I was all about it. At 1:00pm I was kicking myself!

My craziest award. Junior DTW 350A to 37xx

Oh I agree 100% it was just nice to see how it looked and let people change last minute.

I had NYC 7ER A in for about 60 seconds. I kept checking twice a day for the last three days to make sure I deleted it.

The craziest award continues to be the ATL 320 A going senior to 777A and 350A.

That's so Bat**** soup that it's like having a slice of Lyme Disease with your Coronavirus.

Just don't get ticked off.

Why is this so shocking to some people? Widebody flying / Time Zone-Jumping / Off in to space-staring is a completely different lifestyle and work life than a NB job. I think more people should do what they enjoy and not simply chase the cash... what am I missing?

Those whose enjoyment peaks where income peaks are certainly fortunate, but that doesn't include us all. Makes perfect sense to me that some folks prefer to stay in their narrow body comfort zone - particularly when uber senior.
