Default Next System Bid

So when bid 20-02 was released it stated the next bid would likely be Spring 2022. Recently, I’ve heard a few rumors that it could be late this year or very early next year. Anyone hear anything like this?

I wouldn't expect late this year. I would count on Spring 2022 for a couple of reasons.

#1. If you look at the Final Results for bid 20-02, they are not close to filling up the Captain spots in several categories. In other words, there are still Captains who have not gone to training. Some won't go until after peak.
#2. I was once told by union folks as to the reason why we can't have small bids was that the company plans financially for 17 months at a time. The last bid was in Dec 2020.

Add 17 months to that, subtract two or three for the posting time frame and bid .. Spring 2022.

Flex instructor meetings are telegraphing system bid next month due to uneven training rates. 76 needs to grow at a faster rate than say the MD. I’m not exactly sure why this would drive another bid when 20-02 hadn’t trained out either. My thoughts align with what is posted above though.

Just passing along rumormill churn, I don’t swear to the accuracy of anonymous internet sleuthing.

May be running out of unfilled slots to put newhires in on some WB fleets?

I’m still waiting to go from bus FO to 76 FO. I have a feeling I will not get trained before a new bid comes out. Not complaining just how I see it playing out.

Oh I forgot there aren’t bids during negations, my mistake. Back to talking about vaccines and pancake plans.

I know it's a typo but unfortunately the company sees NEGOTIATIONS as NEGATIONS.

I was going to correct you; until the Internet “Book of Knowledge” Wikipedia corrected me:

In psychoanalysis, a Freudian slip, also called parapraxis, is an error in speech, memory, or physical action that occurs due to the interference of an unconscious subdued wish or internal train of thought. Classical examples involve slips of the tongue, but psychoanalytic theory also embraces misreadings, mishearings, mistypings, temporary forgettings, and the mislaying and losing of objects.

All I can offer is sage advice from a fellow warrior.
