Were you MDT based in this bid or displaced by a MDT pilot? Reading FIL 17-16, it says this:
"First Officers who are displaced from MDT or First Officers who may be displaced from their current
position due to seniority may bid an open Captain's position and are not subject to a Category Freeze."
If neither of those two situations applied, then I beleive that is why you did not receive the CA award.

Does that mean cancelled flights, or does that mean longer hours for those that are PIC already?
Do they plan far enough ahead that it means they know to release seat locks to fill them in coming bids?
Does it mean they slow down Jet deliveries?
If they get too many captains, can they put a captain in the right seat?
let my nooB status be clearly evident!
