I agree, I thought the Ed Knapp thing was official though. As I understood it, this information was disseminated by the union. I could be wrong though...

At least 20 minutes of last weeks conference call was spent praising union officials for getting rid of EK. Too bad I'm flying today I'd love to hear them talk about his return

Well, it's the 4th of July... and if IIRC, PL said the staffing bid would be out sometime this week before the 4th.

Did you get the email telling us to update our "Pref Bid" we have on file. Maybe that is it ... Lol

Thats because of the mass exodus of FO's leaving...

They are getting their atp's and leavin.

How much actual FO attrition is being seen? Also, how reasonable would it be with said attrition to get GNV as a domicile for a new hire.

Actual? Apocalyptic.

GNV? Probably do-able if you get the SAAB

Just a thought. With the FO's leaving, junior Captains may not benefit from a staffing bid at this time. SOMEBODY has to sit right.

Unless there's growth NOBODY benefits from a staffing bid.
