Default 2020 System Bid Rumormill Churn

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?

BLG stands for Bid Line Guarantee.

My guess is sooner than June. Not sure how many people there are left to train on the 767 and 777 from the last bid, but since we are taking deliveries of them still they will need staff them. Even if it is just moving MD and A300 guys to those seats.

MD11's will be fully committed to the CRAF by June.

I think all of our fleet planning just got exploded in a car on the Baghdad airport.....

I don't think so, the A300 has been proven battle ready:

Absolutely NOT going to happen. Trump will be removed from office and pelosi will appoint herself President and peace will be restored.


Gotta go it's Happy Hour!
