3 months of a handful above or below missing affects you? I gotta say that's some precise seat seniority bidding. How did you know exactly where you would fall? I guess I'm just not that good. Yeah, I can see that argument. I have to squint really hard but I can see it.

If you’re within a pilot or two of the cutoff for holding a line, the cutoff for coverage awards, the cutoff for an extra X day or for getting a holiday off…the difference between adhering to the AE and deviating from it can be noticeable. That has nothing to do with precise bidding, I’m just saying what’s good for an individual and their company side-deal has effects elsewhere.

Until the company starts putting the word out to their favored pilots to bid higher paying categories they will “bypass” them to stay where they are. 4th floor and LCA get raises.

If it’s not universally and consistently available to all pilots it’s not a good deal for the group even if some make our well individually.

No kidding. Very surprised last weekend's performance hasn't been addressed. Nothing on Deltanet or Skyhub

Reserve coverage for May NYC ER B is okay. Like 80% ish of required until a couple days prior. Even so guys are on GS 3 already. In June the BEST day is 26 required 6 available already.

Do you remember when we used to be the reliable air line that took pride in never cancelling?

I’m sure Pepperidge Farm remembers.

3 month delay isn't a game changer in bidding the next position. Those you mention have salary deals anyway.

Looks like it’s shaping up to be another ugly weekend. Only question is will it be worse than last weekend? 🤔
