The first 7 in Boeing airliner products is like the letter "J" in Spanish - it's silent. 
For the percentages, is there a filter in your PBS that allows you to bid schedules based on a percentage? I've heard something about conditional bidding based on %, but I can't remember what it was. PBS? Equipment bidding?

The % is only for system bids, and yes I believe we will have that ability with the new equipment bids.

Yes. The equip bid was by %. We called it a system bid. New monthly vacancy bids for all starting in next week or so. Maybe it'll be a hybrid of the two systems. Percentage was nice because you could put a standing bid in of, say, 60% in a particular seat, then 70% in a different seat, etc. If the bid ran and you couldn't hold at least 60% it would just bypass to your next bid, or to the next pilot if that was your last bid.
Are the percentages in the system bid looking at everyone who is incumbent and bidding for that round of bids to determine percentage, or is just those bidding new equipment? It will be a welcome change to have some clarity, even if it's only for one bid cycle.
