Like I posted before, I think there is more to the story. Somebody way up high probably said "YGTBSM, how much did you say this is going to cost?"

If it's still closing, who cares?

I wonder if any non-vender employees are working this weekend to fix the practice bid. You know, the ones who took a 5% pay cut on January 1.

I just saw it posted too.

Anyone know WHEN they put it up on the web?

If it's today (14 Mar), then they are not in compliance with the following:

d. The Company shall publish at least 1 practice bid award
between 7 days and 3 days prior to the closing of any
posting for permanent crew position excesses or vacancies.
The results of a practice bid(s) shall be communicated to

pilots through Company E-Mail.

Bid closes @ 1500z on 16 March. The window for "1 practice bid" to be published was 1500z on 9 March to 1500z on 13 March.

There was no new practice bid posted in that window.

Plus - I never got any emails from the company on my "Company E-Mail" either - did any of you?

Just looking at the "revised" practice bid and noticed DW was awarded 777 Capt? Another union weenie that bids a position without knowing what it will pay? Any bets as to whether we have 777 pay rates before he goes to training? What does he know that we don't?

can you say "insider trading"?......is he possibly exposing himself and the company and the union to a "lawsuit" brought by those who DON'T have the "inside info"?
