don’t hate the player!

But those fat “turns” usually have straight bidders show their hands early on

2 / 300 here (since NWA already claimed the #1 slot).

Buddy of mine texted me in lieu of recruiting that hiring might start up before the end of the year.

Honestly can't wait. Love my job as a captain, but if I can get 30 years out of Southwest, I wanna get that timer started!

And to keep it relevant with the thread I guess I uhhh... won't pick up straight pay or something? Also I vote no as a vibe.

Bid however you want. Only weirdos harass someone for how they get a trip. I like straight bidders…on weekends…so I don’t have to work.

Exactly. For every pilot mad at a straight bidder there is a reserve pilot loving it.

Thats what I say. Bid what you are willing to do it for and don’t worry how others bid. This pilot group is funny. I don’t bid OT often if I do it’s premium bc I do t want to work anyway. I’d love an idiot to text me if I bid straight on something.

I texted a guy who was bidding straight who was the only legal bidder and it had to go POT to tell him to bid POT and he seem to appreciate it.

Had a weirdo harass me for straight bidding a turn that paid 10 vs bidding premium for 15. I told him I was so far down the list that I could watch him fly it for 15 from my house or do it myself for $3k and I liked $3k in my bank account more than I liked him.

good for you. He probably texted you from a burner number too…

Bahaha! That's a beautiful reply!

Just got an email. New hire classes starting Nov & Dec. Asks to update info in next 7 days and expect a phone call. Guess it's actually happening.
