Prior experience says to bet on the MOAB (including maybe the first practice bid?) coming out shortly before the TA voting closes. That way lots of folks will look at the $$ pay increase in their newly (possible) awarded seats and get to add an additional 3% on top of that. I bet lots of folks will be blinded by the $$ signs and for FOR the TA.

The bid will come out if the TA passes or not. If they need bodies they will put the bid. It will just be with or without the FDA in CGN. Unfortunately, people will look at the short term gain vise the long term one.....

I heard between 325 and 350 Captain slots on the impending MOAB. It's timing was pushed back due to the TA from February until after the TA results and depending on the results....it may or may not include the FDA's.

Two bids, one for the A-380 followed by a B-737 bid. They are both in the T.A.-right?

Damn ... if there's going to be a big bid (or more than one), I'll need to find DW and BC for their advice on how to bid. They always make sound (respectable?) decisions!

because you asked so nice, read up in section 26.k.2

this was just housekeeping ,moving the rate from this section to section 3 is how it was explained when asked.
