There is a positive side to them kicking the can down the road. It is called leverage. I just hope my fellow pilots can come together as one
when the time comes to negotiate. We might not have this type of opportunity again in the future.

Default Word from Ops on system bid

On the town hall zoom call, Ops stated, "in several weeks- in order to start training in Jan 2021". ALso said, "it would not be unlike 19-01 bid in size".

If my english serves me correctly, that’s the same as saying “it’s going to be the same,” right? Something about a double negative being a positive if I remember correctly.

So the bid won't be for another several weeks?

As of right now, the ITU Bid for DEC20 has not been posted and it was due out at 9am Elvis Time. I wonder if they've run out of excess slots from 19-01 for New Hires. May be a sign that the new Vacancy will be out soon.

exactly, why the management doublespeak? Made me listen carefully. Why he didn't just say, similar in size to 19-01.

The statement on the town hall zoom call, "start training in Jan", and the bid coming out in "a few weeks", lines up with Rum Runner's hypothesis on 9/15.

"Assuming they would want us to be able to bid for January ITU (which is what they announced today), ..the bid would have to close no later than Oct 21st, as Jan ITU bidding runs Oct 22-29th. With a minimum 14 day system bid per section 24, the latest they could post would be Oct 7th.

Oct 7 is "in a few weeks".

The only problem I see with Rum Runner's math is that a bid containing a vacancy in a foreign domicile is required to be open for 28 days. So unless CGN and HKG are left off the bid, he needs to move his bid date back two weeks.

According to the bus driver, that is only if it's a new domicile (domestic or FDA).
