Yes, if you take a look the morning the bid closes, you'll usually know exactly what award you'll get. But keep in mind, it doesn't mean a thing except for days on/days off. You can be #1 in base and be bumped off your awarded line for the most trivial of reasons, if you ever find out why. (Ask me how I know!) And you get paid for what you end up doing, not what you were awarded.

Publix FTW (even the Miami version)

Same here, same interview date. Emailed a couple weeks back but no response. Breathing a little easier now that I see I'm not the only one!

I have a feeling the aircraft assignments are not arbitrary. I'm not gonna speculate on what criteria they use to decide who goes into which a/c but I have a suspicion that personal choice is not the main factor. So if you haven't been called, it's probably cause you are gonna end up in the aircraft that is not the one for the class they are filling at the moment (767).

It's my suspicion, take it with a grain of salt.
