Sorry Dan...didn't see it. My bad man. I don't care who's right or wrong, I just get that innate feeling that we are being toyed with, don't you?

e. A posting may not be amended after it is published. The Company may, however, cancel any posting prior to its closing.

Is changing the closing date of the posting an amendment? I haven't read that far into the CBA, but it might be something to consider this weekend.

Oh, I like you thinking! Delay, delay, delay. That's this "soon to be bumped" pilot's train of thought!

Maybe they should try practice bids for the practice bids.

If they cancel this one they can turn around and have another.

Maybe I/we, as provided in the contract, should percentage bid a little more.........

Maybe they locked out the practice bid expert in a cost-cutting move...

No worries, I was just playing around. Not enough of us admit when we're wrong anyway. I'm not getting the feeling that we're being toyed with, more that we have two factions (company and union) who have never been down this road before which means missteps and other 'fun'. As Gunter said, for whatever reason, I think the company is pretty determined to actually run the excess bids to fruition this time. In the end they may or may not modify things via cancellations and future vacancies, but it looks like they want to go through with step 1. I think that if a 'global solution' is actually negotiated, many will be disappointed because they will expect it to be linked to a stop or mitigation of the excesses and I don't think it will be.

Daniel I think you are spot on with your last two sentences.

Does anyone out there, with a dog in this fight, have any confidence in the first practice bid results? If so, why the okay bid for practice 1 and a total goat $^&! for practice 2?
