I thought since SLC320 is a new category with an AE bid, it's open season for all pilots. Thx.
That is how I understand it too.

New category - is up for grabs for everyone, but being MD'd you can bump junior to you guy off the bottom anywhere in the rest of the system.

Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thx

Default a FNG question

Is there a way to bid so that if you lose seniority in your catagory to the point that you are no longer a line holder that you can trigger a bid to something else??

I'm not a Porschephile (I like good old American Big Block V-8's) but I do feel for you. To have such a rare car and sell it hurts.

The other day when there was several inches of new snow on the road, as well as plenty of road salt I saw some bonehead driving a new (or almost new) Porsche. I think someone should shoot the SOB for treating such an expensive vehicle like that.

There is - hopefully someone else can help, but I think you bid your own category, but with a 70% parameter.

Anyone?

Yes. Include your own category in your AE/VD choices with a percentage.

Example:
If you are currently ATL777A and you only want to stay in that category if you are in the top 70% then you would bid on the AE and VD screens like this:

First choice: ATL777A 70%
Second choice: DTW 777A (with or without percentage qualifier)
Third choice: ATL 765A
Fourth choice: NYC 765A 50%
Fifth choice: DTW DC9B
Sixth choice: etc. etc.

If you can't hold ATL777A at 70% then the computer will proceed to your next choice.

If you can hold it, then the computer will stop and you stay put in ATL777A.

Clear as mud?

Hey Super,

Looks like DC-9 is shrinking and pretty much everything else growing...maybe you can finally get back to the A320 seat you lost!

Yeah, I've still got my recall rights back to the bus so this should get me back on it which would be great. To be honest though i'm just glad we're talking about adding and not subtracting!!
