That is true. But it's funny because if they want people to bid off LAX 7ER A/B, in general those people aren't going to unless the company offers a better alternative. 5/10 LAX A350 A/B might drive a few to bid off via primary and secondary positions, but really, where does BS expect those 7ER pilots to want to go otherwise?

Are they really hoping pilots bid from LAX to NYC? How does that make sense to or for anyone?? Or as long as they bid off lax ER, to another LAX seat, that also drives the equation the correct direction? In which case you would have thought there would be more LAX seats on the bid?

I believe there’s almost 800 pilots scheduled to start class by beginning of May. You’ll probably just see fo positions for new hires for the foreseeable future. If age 67 happens, look at stagnation for a couple years.

Yeah I am LAX ER and I can assure you I am not bidding anything ATL/NYC so I don’t really get it either. There are some (very few) who wouldn’t fly anything non Boeing WB and already commute, but I don’t get it. Just a few AE’s ago we had massive growth on LAX ER. Now it’s saying bid off it. I can’t keep up lol

Yeah if 67 comes then it will be interesting to see what happens. Also because we don’t have a conclusion on international flying either and it appears ICAO is not in any push to move quickly like our government claims. Or we get to March and they just extend temporary again because it’s an election year…

that’s not to say the same gridlock affecting the approps process won’t also affect the FAA reauthorization, leading to another extension of the status quo.

From the AE Memo:
It's been said many times before, but always bears repeating, especially when CR themselves remind you: BWYWWWYB. There WILL be many awarded positions which are unposted in the AE. You will not get one if you don't have a bid in. So make sure you include every position you are willing to do, regardless of what the AE memo says. It will ever be thus.
As the number of posted positions comes down, please review your standing bids carefully to ensure that the bids match your current preferences. Historically, we have seen more secondary movements as the number of posted positions come down.

The FAA reauthorization bill (where 67 would be approved) is independent and separate from the annual appropriations process (which is what a CR would be affecting).
that’s not to say the same gridlock affecting the approps process won’t also affect the FAA reauthorization, leading to another extension of the status quo.
