Can someone explain this to me? I bid for my reserved windows last month putting A2 and A1 as the very last choice. Today I found out im scheduled for A2 and A1 windows for May. Looking at the guys that were in my class who are less senior than me, they all got the A5 A6 windows. How does this happen? Should I get my choice before them?

Not to insult your intelligence, but it is possible you entered your bid wrong (I know from experience!).

Well we find out tomorrow at 3:00, that is if bid production doesn't stand us up... again.

But during my interview 3/25 they told me I would have a choice.

P.S. New hire classes from now on will not receive per diem during training... "We are the last class to get it" And even then earlier this week they told us we would not get it, but I sent out some emails... hopefully that was the difference maker because now we are!! Yay!!

If you did in fact bid correctly you need to call planning and point it out to them. They should change it and if they don't then you need to call the union.

I wonder if they are dropping the per diem because they are going to base all the new hires in CVG?

Nope... because they're cheap.
