Don't get caught by the new bidding days
 
Take note of the number of days you have to do your monthly bid!

The monthly bid starts just like normal on a Thursday at 1700 ct, but it ends at 1200 the following Monday. You only have 4 days to bid!

Was just looking at the month of November on my calendar and noticed the change.

Dang, thanks, Brad! I didn't notice that. A whole lot of people might get screwed if they don't realize this.

Wouldn't ya think the union would be updating us on important changes, as time goes on? After all, they negotiated it. They are 100% aware of every change. I certainly hope they give people a heads up when things change, seeing as there seem to be a large number of changes at different times.

Thanks for posting that.

I guess I need to read the contract, now that it passed.

I see that open time still takes 4 hours to get a response. I thought we were going to have instant trip trading. Oh, wait, we didn't get that? Why am I not surprised?

Seriously, there were plenty of things to vote no about, so I did.

Anyone know what SWW open and SWW close means? Maybe a "yes" voter can explain it to me.

I would think that a no voter would be able to explain it just as good.

They are just place holders. If you and I get Secondary Lines we don't do anything when the SWW opens and then after it closes we use our VIPs phone password to call our scheduler and tell them what we are willing to do next month. :rolleyes:
