Perhaps 2000 + pilots are going to be furlough soon :D

If I were you, I wouldn't even joke about that...

Are the freezes dropped for this bid?
Crazy, I know, but would like to go try domestic stuff again. One LONG leg is kinda boring.

Active does not include TK and IAH schoolhouse + manage pilots I think.

You mean "equipment freeze" right?
There's no "seat" freeze...?

One thing to think about on this bid:

Plan on going to training during the holidays.:(

That seems like too large a discrepency for just that to explain it, but I also wouldn't think that IAH would need 200+ 67 F/O's , as there aren't that many departures from IAH on legacy CAL 57s or 67s.

I don't know, but I am 44% in my category now, the last bid had me at 20% or so.

As long as I keep moving up each month in PBS bidding that is all that matters I guess.
