Other airlines have their awards before we start even start bidding.
Fix that, and the problem is addressed.As background, LUAL's bidding window was pushed later in the month as a concession in bankruptcy as it gave marketing more time to "tweak" the flight schedules.
I'd suggest that a major airline that does not know it schedule 45 days in advance, but yet is selling tickets for those flights, has a problem.

I strongly agree with getting the results sooner, but I think you are needlessly offering to concede a shortened bidding window as it does not address the underlaying issue:

Color my memory faulty. I seriously don't remember the awards arriving so late.
I will add however, that the last time I complained about this with a SSC rep the response was the company was not willing to move the monthly bid process forward for the stated reason above.
I'm sure anything is negotiable.....for a price.
