ASA, ATL Domicile Vacancies Expected Soon

[Gulf-front]

So BM got the bid wrong? That's a first! Maybe one day they will put out a bid for his job!

 

[Abernathy]

These projections are nauseating.

 

[SLUF4]

It does seem like the bid gets screwed up in some way everytime, doesn't it?

 

[1080P]

When does it close??

 

[79%N1]

Today at noon.

By the way, good luck using the commuting clause to IAD since you cant "list" on an offline flight. It's gonna be a mess up there.

 

[RosenKen]

I hear there may be another bid to IAD in a couple months

I remember when they screwed up the downgrade projection bigtime and then came out with a few "oops" e-mails.

There are 2 mins left before it closes and I'm suprised how senior it is going. Some guys who went in the first round are going to end up a lot farther back on the list than they probably thought they would be when they went with the first round.

 

[SLUF4]

I know-I don't see how these people keep their jobs over there-at least some people at this company have job security somehow

I would have ended up in the low 40's if I had kept my bid in. When the 2nd round opened up, I was stoked because I figured I would end up around 30/60 holding a somewhat decent commutable line.

Oh well, getting booted to the 70/90 and staying on RES in ATL is probably better than holding one of the last lines with a much tougher commute to IAD. At least I won't have to make the walk of shame to use the lav anymore.....

If you live in ATL, then you are wise to stay in ATL on reserve. Reserve is better in your home city than commuting to a line. IAD commuters have no idea what kind of commuting hell they just signed up for. If they plan on moving up there, that's a different story. I think that would be fine.

Yeah you do, all the 70's are getting first class and removing the forward lav

 

[Medeco]

Ok, I got the explanation on the logic but it is still stupid, and no way can I explain it.

"Resultant displacements"

One of the most retarded aspects of this whole thing

 

[79%N1]

Why do they need 11 days to post the award after the bid closes? Does it really take BM that long to figure it all out when it is done by computer?

 

[SLUF4]

and even then it'll probably be screwed up somehow

 

[Abernathy]

Does anyone know how many CR7FO vacancies they're actually going to have.. They went from 6 to 20 to like 10 in the last projection.

and even then it'll probably be screwed up somehow

Right. 5 minutes after he e-mails out the awards there will be another e-mail titled "Bid Award correction" followed 2 days later by "Bid Award Correction Part II, redux"..
