Going to be interesting when the Dec bidpacks are a few days late like last year and the bid closed on the regular date.

What, you need more than a 20 minute window to look at and input your bid? Slacker.....

Please give the bidpack folks a break ... December sneaks up on them every year!

Would we keep our jobs if we did our jobs like that? They must have incriminating photos of senior Management?

Am I looking at this wrong or did the dates on the calendar get changed back so that we still have a full week to bid?

You are looking at it right. It has changed. Mine showed closing on Monday but now Thursday.

Same with mine. I thought the whole SWW deal was DOS, maybe not. I predict.....massive confusion. Wonder what the odds are of the bidpack coming out on Thursday?

Expect a message tomorrow. The Company couldn't make the programming happen. Better luck with your Secondary Working Window next month.

I misspoke (I was misinformed). It's not The Company's programming issue. Our Negotiating Committee asked for the delay to protect low-information pilots from being caught off guard by the compressed bidding schedule.

Damn! I was hoping all the "low information" pilots were senior to me and bidding around Christas would be easy! . Now I'll have to work harder on my Dec bid

And this high-information voter will have to suffer another month without the Secondary Working Window. That's the only reason I voted for this darn thing!


I wonder what other features are optional until we feel like it.
