Default Rumors of a Fall Bid

So I've been hearing rumblings of there being a bid in the Fall. The crewbus lady said definitely maybe. Anyone know anything else?

They won’t have the 18-01 bid trained out before the Spring at the earliest. Not sure how that could work with concurrent bid awards with our Sec 25 language.

The 18-01 bid for Airbus FO’s to Captains hasn’t even started. Or did I just misunderstand what you were saying?

New bid? They keep denying people who bid the right seat of the 777 training for “ new hire requirements”. They seem to be able to fill many of the F/O open seats with people other than those who were awarded it last Feb. Until they are bleeding captains, I think this is a myth.

That’s what I’m thinking. I could see a small bid for HKG or CGN or both. Seems like they like running those separate as they did the same last year.

Oh and for the record.. I don’t actually think there will be a bid and it’s just rumor... But figured I would play along and fuel the fire.
