Don't need vacancies for DEN and ORD as "right sizing" the 76T and A320 with bumps will fill the 737 quite nicely. Mind the bumps.

I can't believe they are doing these bids before they bump 76T pilots. They should have done that the day after the SLI to at least see where they were going to go.

Nothing surprises me other than when they get lucky and get it right. What is that famous saying?

Even a broken clock is correct twice a day?

One of the best pieces of advice I ever received was do it right the first time. If you don't, it will cost you time and money in the long run.

Our management should be so lucky to be right twice a day.

As one of my buddies likes to say:

"This management can't even be wrong right"

Who needs bumps? I've talked to at least 3 guys who were awarded guppy FO in LAX and they aren't going to get trained in time, so they are going to bump into guppy Captain in LAX.

That's just in LAX. I'm not sure about the other bases, but I know its the same.

The "displacement" bumps are just going to be icing on the cake.
