Speaking of which, did I miss the memo that they would be late?

Yes Kirk, you did😂

So what happens if the company misses the deadline for putting out the FO bid in 2:44? Do we all get add pay?

Never mind. Out now.

I see no Sfo FO bids published.

Where's the awards??? My freaking regional had a better PBS bidding system (flightline) and we would get the awards a week ago.......ridiculous

I have been successful many times in the past when doing that in the past. You need to ensure your Bid group fails if you don't get those specific trips. PM me for details. I'll screenshot my bid statements to your email if you want.

paid the money. No help.

PBS is a company (management) administered pilot staffing and bidding system. It does both. We as pilots (as well as ALPA) have no input on staffing. Therefore, it doesn't matter how smart you are. You can't out-smart a math problem, where one variable is unknown, and the other variable is out of your control.

ALPA's input and control/supervision of Management's bidding/staffing system is just lipstick on a pig. It's very minimal and lacks oversight.

Once you strip all the bells and whistles and shine off of it, it's a Ford Etzel.

"That's why we're all here, right? To celebrate E Day, the date 50 years ago when Ford took one of the autodom's most hilarious pratfalls. But why? It really wasn't that bad a car. True, the car was kind of homely, fuel thirsty and too expensive, particularly at the outset of the late '50s recession. But what else? It was the first victim of Madison Avenue hyper-hype. Ford's marketing mavens had led the public to expect some plutonium-powered, pancake-making wondercar; what they got was a Mercury. Cultural critics speculated that the car was a flop because the vertical grill looked like a vagina. Maybe. America in the '50s was certainly phobic about the female business. How did the Edsel come to be synonymous with failure? All of the above, consolidated into an irrational groupthink and pressurized by a joyously catty media. Interestingly, it was Ford President Robert McNamara who convinced the board to bail out of the Edsel project; a decade later, it was McNamara, then Secretary of Defense, who couldn't bring himself to quit the disaster of Vietnam, even though he knew a lemon when he saw one.

Your posts are like Trumps tweets - full of emotion and hyperbole and short on facts. It's gotta feel pretty good to be you, huh?
