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

Hiredgun,
Before anyone goes and puts 20% in there AE bid, we better clear up some possible confusion. I am almost certain you put in 80% if you want 20% below you. Enter 70% if you want 30% below you and so on. Low% means what is the lowest percent you want to be included in...1% being most senior and 99% being most junior. Can any bidding wizards back me up on that.

Your correct. If you put 20% you are saying you only want the bid if you can be in the top 20% of the list.

Quick question. If I am junior on the 88B in ATL and that is where I want to be, then do I need to fill out a displacement bid? The international flying sounds great but in my short tenure here I have figured out that gaining seniority quicker will aid in my QOL. Atl is a single leg commute so anything to atlanta would be my preference. Thanks in advance for the insight.

forgot to bid

No idea, and heck it is a weird day to have it come out. It would close on Sat. Normally they come out be 1700.

I would always have a mandatory displacement bid in the system. Its foolish not to. Even if it seems highly unlikely that you will get bumped, you never know.

In your case (ATLM88B) I would at least bid the NYC categories in the order you prefer.
777 - 7ER - 73N. Or M88 if you dont want to go to the schoolhouse.
