We got a memo regarding rebidding this past January (2010). I don't know how to do the scan and post thing, so here's what the cover sheet says:
ATTN: ALL DRIVERS; TEAM LINE HAUL, SINGLE, HUB AND CITY
We have completed the survey for the annual re-posting of the runs. We will begin posting annually in the east. The vote was a 2 to 1 margin in favor of the annual re-posting. That will normally happen in November to take effect the following January. The dates will be confirmed late in the year.
The rest of the cover page concerned the rebid of 2010, followed by the "Guidelines for assigning schedule runs".
So, there's your official unofficial response- until a different official response is officially responded to. (In other words, just because it was carved in stone in January, doesn't necessarily mean anything!)
