Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

Obviously before this AE you knew if you bid XYZ at ABC you'd sit around X%. But with this AE who knows. Thats why bidding % in category on an AE or MD is so important and especially so for commuters or people who have seniority and can get what you want but aren't sure if what they want is something they really want.

The problem with that theory is that there is sure to be another bid soon after this one. You can displace into a category at say 50%, but you don't know what will happen on the next bid. Did a lot of guys sit on the sidelines and let this one shake out? Are they thinking, wow ABC category went junior so now I will bid in. All you commuters be careful.

Yep, so it is best to do it under and MD and save the VD card for later.....

(we were told to expect two years of shifting to get this airline and crews where they need to be!)

That looks like the "before" and "after" of the ATL Category lists when this comes out.
