they're getting pretty good at re-releasing bids...

maybe for the next one they can just re-re-release the re-release.

It did but it still went very senior in the left seat and very junior in the right seat. Looks like a lot more independent contractors in the left seat.

How do you figure that. I see 120 independent contractors in both seats. The junior guys didn't have to bid it.

Ok, How many senior Captains did they have to go through to find 125 independent contractors? (answer 776) And how many F/Os did they have to go through? It was sure as heck more than 776.

For all those that have HKG CA on their standing bid to try to get passover pay, beware, there were six captains on this practice bid coming home. You might just have to fill one of those slots. I'm sure those are secondaries that will be filled. But of course this is only the first of three practice bids.

Interesting post, but none of those guys would be senior enough to grab one of those secondaries

Ok, my bad. I'm relieved to see it took more F/O's to find 120 independent contractors. Yes, that was sarcasm.
