So the "next" bid will be the big one for all the upgrades. Not the "next" bid, but the "next, next" bid.

One glaring similarity is the inner Blutarski that both sides have when I mention beer is on me(even the ones that mention they don't drink much) Cheers to all and happy festivus, merry Christmas, kwanza or whatever y'all celebrate. Here's to kicking some more industry ass next year.

You don't get separate hotel sign in sheets? I always do. :confused:

It's about 75/25 not separate to separate domestic (if you're laying over with the FAs).

The next bid to be posted will have a significant increase in mainline captains jobs. The largest in the last 12 years.

This is truly good news and hopefully this will be the first of many consecutive positive bids. But........... saying it is the "largest in the last 12 years" is pretty much saying something akin to "the tallest midget."
