What an interesting idea!
When I was at TOM, the bidding system was variable. For me, it never worked, so I stopped using it. As did most people I knew, but then I flew in the regions and Carmen was much more productive at the larger bases.
My opinion is that any new joiners will go to the 737, and will not see any long haul for quite some time. Bases are likely to be CWL/NCL/GLA etc although they were under crewed when I was there, that may well have changed. I also expect them to do what TCX are doing and offer summer only work to begin with but hopefully i'll be proven wrong in that regard.
