Default SIC Open Bids

What is the future for Latitude, Longitude and CL350 SIC open bids now that those fleets seem to be for new hires?

They are going unfilled. Recent Global SIC bid went to a number of FOs shortly off their initial aircraft lock.

But I haven’t seen any open bids for mid and super mid SIC’s.

Company's motivation to do so dwindles when they post bids that go unfilled. I disagree with it, but contractually they don't have to.

That’s kind of a bummer when I would like to bid onto one of those fleets.

There were almost monthly SIC bids for the CL-350 between July/August of last year and about April of this year. Each bid had 6-12 openings. I think there were fewer than 10 takers total from those off seat-lock. Almost NO ONE has bid any open SIC slots on the CL-650. As was mentioned, the recent GL-6000 SIC bid was the only one to actually be filled with current SICs off seat-lock.

There’s a lot of conjecture why so many have gone infilled, and subsequently been filled by new-hires. I suspect the belief that there may be a lot of upgrades coming and folks don’t want to carry extra seat lock into their first PIC bid may have something to do with that, BWTHDIK.
