I agree with that statement.

Regarding bids I suspect the SCal bids in DEN will go very senior while the SUAL bids in IAH will go relatively junior. I think the TDY A320 IAH flying will go senior.
I'd say DEN will be easily filled.

Actually I think ORD will be easily filled as well....even if by all UAL pilots from the bottom of the list. I cannot believe we will get to a situation for DEN and ORD where we have to volunteer for TDY or have involuntary assignments there. We have how many at the bottom of the CAL seniority list now who are furloughed L-UAL pilots? I would think that if not one CAL pilot bids the 140 positions available at these two bases that 140 UAL pilots at the bottom wouldn't get these positions if they put them on their bid choices.

I agree and luckily for this L-CAL bid there are no displacements anywhere, only vacancies or status quo. The problem we run into with our bids is that if we don't bid sufficient choices we can be assigned as the company needs dictate, which again, would be more of a problem in a displacement scenario.

I'll flat out say right now that I've updated my standing bid screen to show DEN/ORD CA and FO slots as my next to last choices...right above GUM CA/FO. Won't be an issue on this bid, but family obligations rules out GUM for many of us.

Absolutely true.

Any LCA's on this board care to respond?

Too many of the LCAs are on the "dark side".

What do you mean by the " dark side"?

You can't really be that clueless.

You have to ask what this means? Really?

Let's be fair now. The LCA's aren't helping the company. They are instead out with the unwashed masses imparting their aviation wisdom saving the industry one grimy line pilot at a time.

Bitter? Nope.

Simple question:
Why are LCA's still volunteering their services?
Answer: Silence.

Simple question I asked 8 years ago:
What is my union doing to save my job?
Answer: Silence.
