Well it's the most known for bidding. The most wanted job

Basically.... when a new or vacant job is posted for bid 85% of eligible employees will sign it and only 10% will have any real intention of taking the job. Half of the people that signed it will talk at length to anyone and everyone that will listen about why they will take the job. Then afterwards they will talk to the same people about why they didn't take the job. Someone in management/HR will have to contact people that signed starting in seniority order and, depending on his large your building is, that can take a while.
EVENTUALLY the person that actually wanted the job will get the call and will start working in that position soon after all of the higher seniority power trippers have had their egos stroked at the expense (time) of those that were ACTUALLY genuinely interested in the job that was posted.
In small buildings the process is basically the same only HR usually isn't involved but the trade off is you're almost guaranteed to have to listen to each and everyone one of those power trippers.

To be the man, you gotta beat the man.
Listen to everyone in here. Also make sure to learn where they post the bid sheets and check frequently to see when they come out. It is your job to keep up with it, no one else will notify you. Sign every single thing that comes out. Even if you don't qualify sign it anyways. You never know if they will make an exception. I've seen it quite a few times.

That would primarily depend on where you work. I work in a pretty sizable hub and we have a couple FT inside bids that people wouldn't mind getting a hold of if they became available. And even in feeders there are a couple sleeper team bids that a couple guys wouldn't mind having either. I am neither one of those. I'll stay in package as long as my body allows me to.

Our 22.3 jobs are pennies less than what package car drivers make.

Our 22.3 jobs pay less then a high seniority PT and are the jobs only beginner PT do, loading and unloading.
