Maybe they just want to hold off on upgrades until after peak summer season.

Yea- WAI was packed with B6 FOs. Had a 2-year FO on the jumpseat out of Fla this weekend said his entire class was there looking to get to a real airline.

I could see that, if we had more upgrades in our last few bids, but the upgrades have been very limited in the last few bids.

It could be planes taken out of service tho. If not we may see a supplemental bid in the future.

I hear this "supplemental bid" tossed around a lot. But it doesn't happen often. Something is up and management already has a plan.

I think we have had one maybe two supplemental bids in 5.5 years, and I know one time the bid before was accompanied by a chief emails saying a supplement would be out in a couple weeks.

Something is up ( management doesn't have a...).

- When was the last time you actually got something done by a human that was correct? ie: If it can't be done by Flica, it doesn't happen.
- Why are the RSV grids now red Thurs-Monday and yet the system bid shows little growth. Properly staffed?
- The formula of our efficiency is getting old. These planes run all the time and yet we're too expensive.
- New game: Type today's dispatcher in your phone. Wait four months. If said name reappears, free Coffee for all.

I'm saving my money and being overly nice to my FO's, because in 3 years they'll be senior to me at the next airline.

If our cost advantage over the legacies is only 9% while we are compensated 30-40% less than their pilots, maintenance is run on the cheap, and there is duct tape holding the stretched-thin operation together, then the problems are systemic and originate from LSC. The ELT is an epic failure if that is the case. How about we grow a pair and have a vote of no confidence like the American pilots did, ALPA??
