I hear that the initial bid for 717 will be 100 A's and B's. Split between ATL and DTW. Bid coming out in March. If you are a bottom feeder in category, have your displacement bids in order. Bid what you want and want what you bid. The closing of the 767 domestic category will make it interesting. Also, opening the DTW 73N category.

I made an error on my PVAC bid. Any chance they can run the bid again?

when we make mistakes in the airplane--whether intentional or not--there are consequences.
the company itself must be held accountable, just like we are. the award was published before it was ready. That's Delta's mistake. Delta needs to honor the more favorable awards from both runs, and eat whatever green slips result.
ALPA should be there to make sure Delta is held accountable... not just to hold Delta's hand.

To be honest, that's not totally true. I've screwed up a lot more than once.

Or are you saying the company should be "punished?"
BTW, I'd guess there is someone in IT that didn't have a very pleasant day today.
