Ah, now, but, see....
You submit a bid which, in accordance with the AFS, must be considered strictly in seniority order and that alone... BUT... the form specifies who and how many may apply for what. This is in contravention of the above-mentioned AFS. The same AFS that 'they' now say they're not necessarily going to get rid of...they're only bringing to our attention that they
may give notice of rescinding it. But then if they don't, the bid form will be based on meaningless information. Oh, and by the way, they won't stck to it, anyway.
Do you remember the basis of 'Catch-22'? You could be released from the US army in grounds of insanity but you had to apply for it. If you were capable of applying, by definition you had to be sane enough to fill in the form and could not thereby be insane enough to qualify for release.
Just a thought...........woof, yip!
Now see, Rita, I've kept a nice piece of topside for you.
