A380, 2nd top bid group. Got my one request (although not the top one) and everything else was a preference (again, not the highest ones). I made a fairly generic bid and obviously if you bid for LHR and there are 5 flights a day you are more likely to get one than if you ask for YYZ on a particular day but still, it worked okay for me.
For the 777 guys who didn't get what they asked for- the fact is that the Boeing now does a lot of awful turnarounds- too many for just the bottom bid groups. Nobody bids for these but somebody has to do them so there will probably be low satisfaction for the Boeing no matter what bidding system the company uses. That is only going to get worse as the 330/340 is phased out. Welcome to your future.
Having said all that it is still ridiculous that we are only allowed to ask for 5 things in our top two bid groups and will only be awarded one. And still no "avoid" option. The new system is undoubtedly rubbish- at least the way the company has implemented it.
