That’s a good one...and it lines up with the system bids from the last few years. I hope you are right.

- System bid at the earliest will be in June. MD/Bus guys will have been "properly motivated" to flee their bidpacks into the 777/767 fleets.

- These actions should/may prevent an excess bid.

What say you?
Not sure what you mean by prevent an excess bid? If we need to decrease seats and thus motivate MD pilots to flee their bidpacks, that will be excess bid or whatever the new term is in new 24.

1. small FDA bid in Feb or Mar
2. excess bid few months after - with 1-2 base closures

When you say base closure, do you mean pilot domicile? Other than the FDA’s, Fedex only has ANC and LAX (MEM of course). You suggesting both ANC and LAX will be on the chopping block?
