Expecting a constructive answer on the subject of bidding in EK and let alone from EK Ppruners is asking for a Lazarus-like miracle.
You honestly cannot plan your life based on the bidding system whether on boeing or on the bus. You just have to make the best of what you get. Make a few swops if you can otherwise on the few occassions you will get what you want, it will be punctuated with what you don't want.
.........what animal is a "bid" habibi ?
No such "animal" exists in EK ........used exist, but now is extinct ! Was killed by a hunter called CRS......
I think would be a fair assessment of the bidding system in EK
