Happy New Year,
Soliciting for the newest "from a credible source" details for our potential system bid this year. I'll go first.
- MD & Airbus will be on min BLG through potentially October. Bidpack city purity will continue to degrade, maybe intentionally as to turn up the heat for MD/Bus guys who will then want to leave those bidpacks.
- 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?

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

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.

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?
