Default FDX--Final--Er--Practice #3

So I guess the company will get a pretty accurate idea of how the final 09-02 should play out. It's easy to stay one step ahead of the competition--us--when you change the rules of the game at the 11th hour. I understand, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

I guess we will both (company and pilots) find out exactly where everyone would have stood when Practice Bid #3 is published. I hope the union number crunchers can use this information productively because it is going to hold a lot of answers.

Now lets all go in and change our standing bids and give the company a real headache!

I bet when they don't get the numbers they wanted for HKG, they cancel it anyway.

I'm surprised this airline runs as well as it seems to with all these amateur antics. Simply amazing ... we deserve better.

Maybe this is the reason the company has to resort to such buffoonery on these excess bids. Meanwhile you have a bunch of guys guessing at their future because some many guys don't want to show their hand.

Whose amateur antics are we talking about? I've been reading these blogs where the plans to bid something false to make the training costs appear outragous were publicly posted for management to read. I would call the pilot-bloggers amateur; management I would rate as "very savvy."

Don't even go there dude. My family has been jerked around for the last couple years because of these antics. "Some many guys" don't show their hand because if you do you get it shoved up your you know what.
