You code it? I don't think it's in there. They are not that smart. This is the ready--fire--aim IT dept after all.

I'm sure there is a way to cause the commodore 64 to melt down. Maybe we all put in the full 96 MD's? Using 5% increments for relative seniority on all the equipment for both A/B seats. Perhaps that will work?

Maybe you should just not put in a PBS bid next month too. Break that system! Lol

Not Cog16 but I'll give it a try (regarding proactive engagement)

How about....get crew resources to run daily mock bids up until bid closing ( ala UAL). This MOAD bid is novel and although there are some potential "gaming" pitfalls associated with a mock bid, it would be better than the, "Oh shiznit, How the eff did that happen" which I envision being said by some after this bid.

Yeah, he's actually giving them more flexibility. A blank slate almost!

Why the hate? What did I ever do to you? I disagree with you pretty much most of the time, but I try not to get personal or mean. Just facts. You and OOFF got to be mean. I can take jabs, but you guys are spiteful and full of hate towards me. It shows in both your word choice and tone.

Pretty sure we can max the confuser into a meltdown based on how we all collectively bid. Or not. Wasn't intending it to be a recommendation on a bidding strategy. Just something fun to talk about - so I thought, but you guys got to be you.

I'm on a KLOA. So there won't be a June PBS bid out of me.

nobody is being mean. Your suggestions simply don’t make any sense

So you are telling me this is the last bid we'll see until.....not hardly. Get over yourself. We got many more of these ahead of us.

So if you wanted to cause maximum confuser effort to achieve meltdown, how would we do it?

No it has not happened yet. But based on what we have seen it’s quite possible that they will only offer the company wide plan. If ALPA doesn’t sign off on that as part of an agreement are you saying that it would still be legal?

No the shared rewards are not in there. There probably was some type of approval from ALPA when it started. Maybe not formal but something. And even if there wasn’t, letting that plan continue without objection doesn’t prevent them from objecting to something else.

I'm not trying to make sense. Just trying to have a little fun with this thing. How would we go about making the software meltdown based on a combined bid of the group being xxx?

Just ideas, nothing more and not meant to be a bid strategy at all. You just can't not be a prude. You must be a joy to fly with.

You're probably one of those guys that put all their bids in when you got the note from the kompany aren't you; rather than waiting for the actual bid to be open. Gave them some real good intel. Thanks.
