Default FDX-Practice Bid Number 2

The numbers are out on the second practice.

Anyone have any idea why all the airplanes are not listed with secondaries like Practice Bid 1?

Only two secondaries to the 757 out of Anchorage and a bunch to the 727 FO seat.

No secondaries for the other seats, etc., or do we wait for the final and then maybe see them?

Default Secondaries

Looks like the company decided to not fill any secondaries on this practice bid. Something is a bit fishy here. How could there be such a drastic difference between the first bid and this one?

Proves that these practice bids are a bunch of crap.

I would be surprised if they fill secondaries in MEM Bus and ANC at all.

Default 777 F/o

Interesting to note that due to secondaries, 22 777 F/O's bid off of the 777 on the first practice bid which created 21 secondary awards.

On this bid, 8 F/O's bid off of the 777 resulting in no secondaries.

Then there was no reason to have had them on the first bid. The original question was why on the first and not on the second.

No idea.......Teaser?........ Based on the talk of overmanned in the Bus (MEM) and shrinking ANC I was surprised secondaries were published on the 1st PB.

Not sure the company is under any obligation to fill secondary vacancies at all.

The final will be the 1st practice bid, if our recent past postings are any example.
