Default System Bid

So. Since you guys got that last thread locked, how about some system bid discussion, minus the mud throwing. That's what PMs are for.......

Default Reserve

Vacancies from the system bid has it looking like reserve won’t be too long for this new guy on the 190 in BOS. That being said, Im looking at living about 60-70 miles away from Logan. Is the 2:30 short call out time from when the phone rings or do you get 15 minutes plus 2:30 to show up at the gate if you call them back 14 minutes later?

But it’s also 2.5 then another hour after checkin.

As in you’ve got some buffer with an hour until push back once you arrive and check in?

Gotcha thanks. I figured that was the case.

You have to check in within 10 minutes of show time. So 1200 call for 1430 show you have until 1440 to check in at the terminal or you’re late. Your iPad uses its GPS to confirm you’re in the terminal.

You can drive through the departures drop off area and check in and then park. But I don’t see that helping much. If you’re parking in Chelsea you’re definitely going to have a gate agent call crew services looking for you before you can get back.

But if you do the drive through check in and then park in central parking you’ll probably be fine. That costs $35/day.

More on topic though I’m curious to see how this annual system bid works in August. Will the 220 be on it?

If there are multiple effective dates will we be bidding on effective dates? Say I want Airbus CA but I don’t want to train in the summer can I bid a spring effective date? I’d imagine that’s how it would work but it’s not clear.

I have never had to deal with parking as you described it here, but have had two gate agents tell me people have gotten in trouble for doing the "drive by" check in. Reading your example, I can see why.
