I wonder, how long past their own self-imposed deadline will it take them to execute a PRACTICE bid?
QOL issues keep mounting, and Flight Ops support seems to be quickly evaporating. Some aspects of our airline are beginning to resemble the regional airline I left two decades ago.
You know the feeling? Like death by a thousand cuts.

FlyingBoxes is correct. When I made my statement, I was going by your statement that there were vacancies in the 75CM seat without checking for myself. That is my fault.
The clarification is in Section 24. You get a seat based on seniority if the dynamic staffing level is less than the minimum staffing level. That is a vacancy. The actual number of people in the seat is less than the required amount. The only seats that meet that requirement are the 77FM and 75FM. The rest of the seats are seats being made available for excess. The dynamic staffing level starts at the current staffing level listed in the bid, and then changes as the bid starts to fill out. In previous vacancy bids, the minimum and maximum staffing levels were the same, just like the 77FM on this bid. The company could have made the minimum and maximum levels in the other seats the same if they wanted. If they had decided to move the maximum level down to meet the minimum level, then there would have been a lot more pilots sent to the 75FM seat. If they had moved the minimum number up to the maximum, then everyone would have been able to bid as a vacancy, including those in the closed bases. Hope this makes it a little more clear.

Practice bid 2 results and closing of the system bid both delayed because they have no idea what they are doing. Update forthcoming with the new dates of practice bid 2 and closing of the bid. Also updated anticipated throughput for MEM11 and MEM30 training to 0-4/month. FCIF yesterday

Does this mean that Practice #1 results were garbage? If so, shouldn't CE demand that they start over from square one just on principal alone? This place is turning into a sh!t$how at an ever-increasing rate.
Better yet, after they close the bid, file a grievance to invalidate the entire thing because of non-compliance with the contractual requirements of the bidding process.
