So dont believe a word I say in the previous post....that therefore means that joining CX is a lifetime sentence;-) And if you dont like it you cannot leave;-) So I guess you and regretcx are screwed then!
Cannot, I think you and I have different understandings of what bidding means in terms of rostering. I bid for either lots of days off (lifestyle) or I can bid for specific flights or I can bid for particular days off. Under the system we have now I think we are almost all supposed to get our first preference, and if there is any conflict with anothers bid, it goes on seniority. Once all the first bids are filled or rejected, they look at all the 2nd bids etc etc.
So by my australian reasoning, we are bidding for some parts of our roster. The rest is simply allocated. If you make no bids it will be completely allocated. Now what is it about this system that makes you declare we have "NO bidding allowed in CX"?
By the way, me management...roflmao. I am simply a line driver that enjoys his job. Must be hard to accept that anyone could be happy in CX without some hidden agenda hey cannot?!
