Are you guys going to keep IAD?

We have neither the airplanes nor the staffing for any additional flying.

Is it just me or is anyone else unable to book travel through the website.

When I go to silverairways.com I am unable to select from and to cities. It won't let me "click" into the box. I can however select dates.

I tried 2 different browsers.

VP of Flight Ops says, "Definitely maybe September 6th for CLE exit date. Working backwards from that, a System Staffing Bid would have to be run no later than mid-July."

Did they ever fully implement the last staffing bid?

"Definitely maybe" Although, it should be noted that the last one was run in August 2013, so technically they don't even have to implement it if they run a new one before this August. But yes, I think they have mostly implemented it...

Wasn't the last one in December when they closed the out stations?

Changes to the RFP as follows:

Our commercial agreements with United will have two impacts on our bid:

1) Our code share agreement will transition from an "Express-style" relationship to an alliance style code share, similar to our Florida and Bahamas network. The passenger impact of this change will be minimal. Our passengers will continue to access coordinated schedules, competitive fares, and seamless connections at Washington Dulles International Airport.
2) We have reached terms where United will continue to piace its "UA" code on only seven of the nine cities included in our original April 17th proposal to the RFP. Because we will be unable to continue placing the "UA" code on flights to Altoona, PA (AOO) and Beckley, WV (BKW), we are
no longer able to serve these communities and have removed them from our bid.
Looks like AOO and BKW are going bye-bye. Also, no more United Express... I wonder if that means we're losing our United travel benefits?
