I don't think bid packages months out would be of much value. But perhaps more detailed but still very general summaries in the CS bullet point newsletters could help people make informed decisions.

If you say so but the only evidence I've seen so far is...
Pilots without enough seniority to hold a position through the displacement process will be assigned to a “UNA” category status at their base. The “UNA” designation means a pilot in excess of the PWA staffing requirements. Their line guarantee will be the lowest paying position listed in Section 22 B. for aircraft in revenue service, which is the 717 First Officer, these pilots will not have a status (Captain or F/O).
edit:
per PWA
4.D. Line Guarantee-Unassigned Pilots
The line guarantee of an unassigned pilot will be the reserve guarantee of the lowest paying position listed in Section 22 B. for aircraft in revenue service.
YOU ARE CORRECT! My bad.

So any guesses when 75% in category guarantees (almost) a line?
I can see why CR is so worried about training. There are a lot of guys who simply can't commute on a 12-hr call-out. They're downbidding to stay in base. And there's no information about when we can reasonably expect to be lineholders.
A 14-hr call-out could save them a lot of grief.

They can try if they want - however, using history as a guide. Post 9-11, we were in an active contract and took three annual pay raises. Then pre-bankruptcy we took a 32 % pay cut and work rule concessions. In bankruptcy, another 14.5 % pay cut and more work rule concessions. The point is - until bankruptcy was a realistic and imminent threat, work rules and pay did not change. We are in a much stronger financial position than post 9-11 and will come out of this. No concessions!
- We will have $12B cash on hand by June 30th.
- We have access to another $12B cash from multiple sources if needed. (CFO: $7-8B unencumbered assets and the $4.6B US government loan.)
- The CFO says we will probably be break even on cash flow by December 31st.
