I would hope so. It's been two years since the contract was signed. The company should be required to have the bid for training programing done before they post another bid. Why let them get away with not following the contract?

Obviously the software needs to be in place to support the new system but we also have to exhaust the current lists.

Bid Rumors?
The only thing we’ve heard in print is the SIG notes that the company is going to evaluate the 75/76 bidpack split deal after they get through training the IND folk over to the LDS cockpits. That seems like it will he sometime in 1Q 2018, but I guess that’s fluid with the last SIG notes saying they’re asking for FAA clarification on something regarding the training plan.
Everything else is just rumors and speculation. In that vein, I don’t expect much outside of maybe a EUR bid before sometime first Q next year. I don’t doubt there are software issues, but if they really had to run a bid from their POV, I’m sure they’d figure out a way to make it happen.

Naturally, the MEC won't know anything about it until it's a done deal.
Wouldn't be the first time ...

Back in the summer when I really could have used it, EJ in contract enforcement told me the company was targeting the Oct bid month to implement the option to control vacation hours with a secondary line. Now that's delayed further since it has apparently been tied into the new secondary line process which......... is still pending as well.

These are all the postings since the Age 65/4A2b bloodletting in '08 and '09. Other than small adjustment bids for new aircraft or domiciles, the company pretty much never runs a large system bid in the fall (PFC has no data pre-2008 maybe before then they did). But not since 2010. Maybe it's true that ALPA is actively colluding with the company against us. Or maybe, I don't know, there's never bids in the fall and we'll see one after Peak. We'll see I guess.

Paris hubturn pizza party had a slideshow showing FEB-18 next bid. Bid to train Software and peak are the reasons for delay. Company rep said a bid is strongly needed but can’t be done this time of year anyway....peak rules all.

We bid for monthly recurrent training slots in seniority order every month
That software flowchart would be homework assignment one in a 1970s middle school programming class
Perhaps someone dropped the punch cards on the way to the compiling machine
Too complicated?? --- that signals the new seniority-based bidding process may not end up being what we envisioned
