I agree.

For instance, if my first, second and third preference are A positions that I'm years from holding then it masks that my 4th choice which was ATL A320 B is my first real choice. Sure it shows in the total number but if you think 1st or 2nd or so choice is important it isn't.

On the flip side, if I bid ATL A320 B on my first pref is ATL A320 B 38%and ATL MD88 B as my second anyone behind me will see I bid A320 B 1st and if they're hoping for ATL MD88 B then I will also show up as bidding for even though I'm already on it.

Its pretty worthless if its saying what I think its saying.

I believe they will try to have it out in several days, but if they don't like the results that could delay things.

Oh good, that gives me time to reiterate:

I think many wives have opted for the no sex policy.

Think of it like this, there will be tons of trips to DAY, ROC, BUF and JAN but no short or long term tours in A Rack.

But bid what you want and want what you bid, and if you want your wife to establish a restricted area around your marriage bed and if you want to glow in the dark, definately bid ATL M88 B.

^^^ +1.

I took the liberty to draw out the preflight flows for the MD88.

Actually only 9 of 34 are 60 or older. All of them can comfortably hold a 744A block or bid in the upper third of DTW330A.

We can add this to the other famous insurance claims:

1."Coming home I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I don't have."

2."To avoid hitting the bumper of the car in front I struck a pedestrian."

3."I saw a slow moving, sad faced old gentleman as he bounced off the roof of my car."

4."The indirect cause of the accident was a little guy in a small car with a big mouth."

5. "The accident was caused by me waving to the man I hit last week."

6. "I was taxing the A380 at the Paris Air Show and was safely clear of a building until I hit it."

I wonder if there will ever be "funny ASAP quotes" published? Put all of the airlines together and wash out the types and location. Bet we'd love it.
