OK, just bumping this thread back to the top since the first round results of the practice bids should be posted today or tomorrow.
Here's a recap of the current predictions:
Dadof6 - Zero!
LeftCoastMD11 - 3
MD11Fr8Dog - 5
NoHaz - 6
FR8Hauler - 6
DaRaiders - 7
BusBoy - 7
Nightfreight - 9
Albief15 - Greater than Dozen (...wow!)
...I'm jumping in at - 5
Now remember, we're talking final numbers --- the practice bid #s don't count.

I think there is a lot of bobbing and weaving going on here during Round #1 of 08-04.
The "current 8" seem to all be new faces ---- I don't believe any of these pilots threw their hat in the ring on either round of 08-03.
Hmmmm....
I bet it's the "Enhanced" LOA that's attracting them.
(...or some form of special Mercury-Vapor UV lighting used in the backstreats of HKG)
I may revise my "5" prediction downward.

You guys amaze me. The LOA is the worst piece of garbage we could have voted on. $2700 per month? Singapore Airlines pay's their expats $6500 per month and add's and education allowance for their children.
As for a furlough, how many more hours are you willing to give up for the over 60 guy's so that they can have their extra 15 minute's of fame. We are all suffering lower BLG's because our union did not look out for our best interest's. The over the hill gang should have only been allowed to come back if there were position's available. Do you think they really care if the junior guy's get axed? I don't think they do.

65 - Congratulations on discovering APC.com and your inner blogger. So far, all 12 of your posts are full of a lot "You guys..." type stuff. Rest assured the vast majority of posters on this board share your sentiments concerning the LOA, DW, the FDA, the 65 change, voter apathy, and furloughs. Like someone said before, it seems your target should be the sheep in the AOC.
