I did something novel…. emailed my reps (ORD) and they disagree with you. We have leaky contractual language that prevents your scenario.
Next voting would be starting in mid August if it passes the MEC vote, then road shows. Try again

Your efforts are futile. I’m not talking about the vote. Just the close of the bid…Great SA.

Its only going to get worse. According to the latest crew resources update just for coastal hubs (EWR, DCA, LAX, SFO) they are planning 500 more Captain bids just on the 737 to staff next summer flying because of about 70 more MAX deliveries by the spring. This doesn’t include the people that will leave the coasts because they can hold ORD, DEN and IAH 737 CA.
Also you have 300+ WB vacancies they will need to fill (not including retirements) this is 800 more. These are going to go unfilled all day long. They are gong to have to remove the 500 hour requirement and put new hires in the left seat to fill them.
2023 is going to be an interesting year from a staffing perspective.

There are 35 unfilled CA slots on the snapshot (out of 620 unfilled total)

Assume MEC gets the TA on 20Jun, then votes on 27 Jun to approve & send to MR. Is your LEC really expecting 6 weeks for the MR vote? Id expect more like 4 weeks...giving us a late July vote. That' enough time for roadshows, con arguments, individual consideration, group discussion, and allows us to see the 2Q results prior to voting.

Just some things to consider…

We’ve already put new hires in WB equipment. Those that bid for and begin training in a WB, beware of what you’re buying. You WILL be on Global Reserve for 8 years at least. You will take your probationary training event in an airplane that you’re not going to fly. Another thing is that if you haven’t done much/any Class II or ETOPS previously, that’s another threat. It’s not difficult and only takes doing it a couple of times to get it, but that’s another threat.
