The last time they had a Big bid, I think I remember getting a crew notification of my standing bid being reset to my current seat prior to it being released.

Are new hires in ITU eligible to bid or do you have to be activated to bid?

I think so, though you are still bound by any seat lock you may have. (Can’t lateral bid for two years, but can bid higher paying position).

I’m not sure if you have to be on property when it opens or just be on property prior to it closing.

The attached posting, System Bid 20-01, is being published to fill 341 widebody CAP vacancies, 38 narrowbody CAP vacancies, 423 widebody F/O vacancies and 45 narrowbody F/O vacancies. System Bid 20-01 opens today, Friday, September 25th and will close at 1400z on Friday, October 9th.

System Bid 20-01 is based on the current projected system lift requirements. As the Operation continues to adapt to the current business environment, there remains the possibility for further adjustments. In the meantime, the bid reflects the following considerations:
  • Anticipated pilot retirements and system form adjustments (system-wide pilot retirements are projected to continue at roughly 150-200 per year)
  • Scheduled aircraft deliveries and retirements (see Fleet Plan below)
  • Expanded International flying on B777
Hiring
This bid will create unfilled vacancies in most widebody aircraft that will allow new hires to be spread over multiple equipment types. With a need to hire over 845 pilots in the next 16-20 months, the opportunities to advance in seniority and/or seat position should be readily apparent.

Domicile Plans
  • MEM will experience growth primarily on the 767 and 777.
  • The ANC MD11 base will remain at current levels. MEM MD11 will see Captains remaining at current levels while 60 First Officer positions will be added. LAX MD11 Captains and First Officers will start backfilling when more than 10 pilots bid to other crew positions.
  • The IND base will grow by 16 Captains and 20 First Officers as we move the current EWR-CDG ETOPS routing to the base. Jun’21 is the planned move to IND.
  • No significant changes are anticipated in the CGN or HKG FDA’s. The posted vacancies are for current shortages and replacements.
  • The MEM Airbus will add positions to cover upcoming retirements.
