Anyone flown both and willing to compare the flight decks and FO workload? thanks!

Difficult decision. Would you have to fly with NucF? I’d pass on any BES that put me next to him.

pay difference is negligible... I’d bid 320 just for the comfort.

Is there a list to see how many are bidding a BES? Thanks!

there is a category summary that has the first 14 days attached to the bid. There is no snapshot for the this 14 days that I am aware of.

im not sure it matters you 100% get your first choice and your choices are limited.

Don't bid the bus. You'll never want to go back to Boeing. Much nicer ride.

I'd suggest you look at schedules for each BES so you have an idea what to expect as far as monthly hours and destinations - if that matters to you. Personally, the comfort and much more intuitive flight deck makes the bus the only choice for me.

According to the CCS msg, there will be periodic snapshots:
"Percentage bidding is not permitted, and you may only make a single selection, even if the selection you make is a category for which you are not eligible. Periodic snapshots of pilot bids will be published; the snapshots will indicate if a pilot has selected an ineligible category."

No dog in this fight but sure seems like there are an awful lot of dissapointed or confused folks having a difficult time understanding their displacement choices or lack thereof.
