Trust me after being on property for two weeks I have no idea how the pick the availability for initial bids. Makes no sense to us. Someone mentioned it's all based on sim availability.

They can hold the 737 pilots tell the last day of the bid and then activate them without training and that is exactly what they will do.

Thanks MOP that makes better sense.

Dear Dec. 9th Class,
There will likely be another Vacancy bid before you're even done with training so things will change.
Later on tonight, perhaps in some dimly-lit noisy location, your perspective may be altered and this somehow won't seem so important...
Drink up and GOD SAVE THE BALL!

I thought you would be the one swinging from the chandeliers and chaperoning the 8 ball down to Colfax in search of lively companionship

Hey R1830

You wouldn't happen to have the breakdown for the Jan 13th class would you. I was told the expect that class but have not received the final call as of yet. Assuming it will be in next few days. But would love to see AC slots for that class if you have time.

Cheers
