No October system bid so at least part of that rumor is false.

How often are there system bids, typically?

Seems to run about every 3 months. It varies.

Thanks, didn't know if there was a contractual requirement or not. Anybody have any idea if the 7/16 class is still split Group2/E190?

the october part was indeed wrong but if you look at past bids they usually are posted 4 months prior to the effective date. ie the SEP2012 bid was posted May 18.

so any bid posted in mid July would have an effective date of NOV 1

in the past 5 years I don't remember any system bid in back to back months, at the least they will have 2 months between, usually 3.

I would plan on there being a bid for either Nov or Dec

Don t know about the extra 190 was told by the chief pilot 4 weeks ago that they looked into it and decided not to buy them.

There is still a current job posting for E190 instructors so I guess they still need some extra guys.
The current posting closes July 12th.
