What's to stop them from "adding" and "deleting" names that are either actual bidders or actual non-bidders. Imagine the rift that these 5 reps being on this bid is already causing. What if they DIDN'T bid it?
The ONLY answer is our reps, on this practice bid, need to publish whether or not they bid it. Simple and conclusive.
I know THREE folks that BID THIS AIRPLANE, COULD HOLD THIS AIRPLANE in the left seat and ARE NOT on the list.
Hmmm.....what say all of you?

Ok, perhaps something is awry here. Consider this. The company OWNS the standing bids and the software that posts results.

Conny,
The sky is not falling and there's not an evil demon behind every rock. The names that appeared on the practice bid, probably bid it. If you don't think they did, go into VIPS, get their phone number and call them. The company, in my opinion, is not in the business of doing the kinds of things that you are suggesting, at least not in the 18 years that I've been here. I could be wrong, however. There was that time in 1998 when I thought I was wrong, but it turned out I was actually right.
Anyway, give the guys who you believe didn't bid the 777 a call and find out first hand. And call the Captain whom you thought did bid the jet and ask him to check his standing bid to see if he really did. I guess it all boils down to who do you want to believe.
JJ

What do they care about vacation? They won't be using it anyway. Without the A380 payrate, they'll have to sell back vacation just to get their "high 5" up.
Remember? That was one of the big selling points on the A380 rate.

I would think that if you've been here 20 years, your High 5 is taken care of.
No shortage of Dousheebaggss in the Capt ranks, that's for sure. Or the MEC ranks. Or the FO ranks. Or the whole dang company. Grow a pair people.
