if you went R to L seat in a short course, the freeze was and is only 9 months. So iCrew is correct, your freeze expired last July.

Okay, so I made a couple stupid comments and you guys picked up the ball and scored a touchdown. They stemmed from frustration. I retract said comments and apologize for being stupid and frustrated.
Now with that said, I wonder if RG's pending coronation had anything to do with the internal fight GL has been alluding to over this AE. Last time RG had control, we "found efficiency" to a 500 pilot surplus and stopped hiring. Is this BOHICA?

I hope you’re wrong about RGs plans, but boy does that seem very possible.

Well since I’ve only been at Delta for 9 months, and in my AE/Displacement Preferences my Freeze Expires also says “None”, I’m going to go ahead and guess that it’s not always accurate.

Some pilots were awarded 350 last year while on freeze, needless to say many pilots cried cried foul and it was reversed. Maybe this iCrew error has something to do with that.

Which brings up a point that gets noted occasionally: never assume you can't/won't get awarded a position, even if no vacancies are posted for what you want to bid. There are always people who get 'backfills' above the number posted in the AE memo. Always. So, Bid What You Want, but Want What You Bid (BWYWWWB). You might just get it. But you definitely will NOT get anything for which you have not bid. Good luck.

Then that is a mistake on the company's part in your favor. I have twice been in a position where I 'should' have had a category freeze, but iCrew said "none" and I was able to bid successfully.

+1 for me on this. I’ve been here for 9 months and I have no freeze. Has to be an error….

Last AE, they did not have my freeze in the system. I was about a year into it. I figured I would bid and see what happened. AE results indicated I could easily hold the position I bid for. I didn’t get it and I noticed my freeze date had been corrected after the results came out. YMMV, I guess it all comes down to if the human catches the mistake.
