Light weights, all of you! I couldn't afford a REAL TRS-80, so I had a TRS-80 CLONE:

Been there done that, single seat fighter flight lead, IP, Stan/Eval etc. The advantage to being a military retiree is I don't have to chase the money and can let them just atrophy away:D.

Best line I ever heard was from a weapons school grad/ex Thunderbird in one of my squadrons, "Don't try to impress me, I'm too impressed with myself to notice";)

Any word or good rumors on new international flying for summer 2011?

Heyas,

After experiencing both systems, I have to still go with the APA system.

1) Base moves, every month
2) Easier to see which way the wind is blowing
3) No pent-up angst
4) Effects of missing or screwing up a bid are minimized
5) Provides an out for someone in a bad QoL situation because of a shift in flying. No waiting around forever.

Plus, Temporary Bids were the last really good deal at the airline. It also let you try out the base before you made a comittment.

I have never seen a year without at least 3 bids and 6 to 8 is more normal. NWA did have a monthly system however it carried with it a much longer freeze. I believe it was 3 years. I will take the current system with the shorter freeze. The situation you posted has not occurred in the last 10 years that I can recall. There is always another bid well before the end of a 9 month cycle. Often there are multiple bids.

It almost just happened, hence the shift in AE award date.

Exactly, when you are stuck in a sheat QOL situation, 210 days is a long dang time.
