Vacation Bid Round 1. Two words:

I swear this is the most incompetent company. They can't get out of their own way. An AA-like grievance is very possible with this one. Get your popcorn ready boys and girls.

My post was edited by the APC police. Doesn't make as much sense anymore, but whatever.

BL: It's not good.

Well, I wouldn't say "early". I'd say 2 days prior to the deadline. They publised the results. Sent out an email saying it was out and it was in FLICA for about an hour.

Then they sent another email saying the bid was run incorrectly and that they were withdrawing the award and re-running it. There's a Flica link that a pilot found that showed the award early, and shows the new bid run as well. I got 2 different weeks the second run. Both better. Which means there are guys who will have much worse vacations the second time around.

My point is, the award was complete and published. Period. Then they pulled it, and re-ran the bid and will publish it again soon. There will/should be several grievances over this.

I was able to see my award early (glad I took a snapshot of it.) I can’t find it now that they pulled the results.

Log into FLICA.

Copy/paste this link into a new window.

https://jetblue.flica.net/full/vbbid...i?BCID=010.000

Either have pop up blockers disabled or stop the link from running before you see the "bid closed" window show up. It'll stop at your bid result. Your two weeks will be in pink.

It's tricky. Make sure you're logged into Flica already. I had to start and stop the link a few times before it showed the award. If you wait too long and it goes to the main menu, close it out and open it up again and keep trying.
