I've never heard it even mentioned as a possibility. The 35 day bid and all of its ramifications are defined in the contract, which lasts until 2018. I don't see it changing.

If the Bid periods are 35 days, does that mean there are only about 10 bid periods a year? Does that mean that even though the hourly pay looks better at Horizon, it's really offset by less bid periods? Assuming you can only get monthly guarantee.

I have an interview with Horizon this week, also with Skywest later in the month. I have heard OO doesn't allow you to move reserve blocks around once they have been awarded. Does Horizon allow you to trade reserve blocks with other people? Knowing that I'll be on reserve and commuting for either carrier, flexibility would make a big difference. Even just being able to swap days or blocks with others would be huge.
