UPS displacement bid?

Anyone heard when the next bid might be coming out.
I heard that the bottleneck is on A-300 training, so do not expect anything until after the first of the year. Anyone heard different.

Thanks guys, being a DC-8 guy I have been at home since May and out of the loop to say the least.
I do get calls from buddies on other fleets letting me know that they are working hard so I can sit at home

I would expect to lose about the number of Capt. seats as there are DC8 Captains left.

I heard the next system bid will be in JAN, and they will create 50 realignment vacancies in ANC.

Don't know about your second question, but I assume most, if not all, of the 50 vacancies will be for FOs.
