Default Forgot to bid?!

Hypothetical question of course... but lets just say I was just above the G line... and didn't submit any bid. Any idea of what I'd get? A line, since I'm above the G-line? Or reserves?

A line. If you don't have anything in your standing bid I would imagine you'll get an "award work" as a bid group.

If you hav a standing bid saved, it would default to that. Regardless, your bid award won't be out for another 12 days.

Ha! That's awesome.

Reserves has been so easy here lately (sfo/73/fo/live in base)... that I feel like getting a line might actually feel like work. Take it as it comes I guess... but I can imagine going back to bidding reserve and being quite happy.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I had this happen to me once, and as I recall it turns out your standing bid doesn't get automatically imported. You actually have to hit SAVE as bid group to bring it over. I may be remembering incorrectly, but I'm pretty sure thats how it works. Seems crazy I know

Go to the UAL MEC Website and sign up for Text Alerts. The MEC texts reminders of important dates to help you remember: Monthly Bidding open/close texts, Vacation Bidding open/close texts, Local Council Meeting, and other important or urgent texts (i.e. PS travel during weather events). You can tailor all of these when you sign up. I have them all checked and think I get maybe 3-4 texts a month if that.

Saved me one time with monthly bidding.
