Hello, some routes were abolished on both zip code zones. All carriers from both zones had the opportunity to do the in-house bidding but only being able to choose from that first zone that was route checked 2 weeks before the second zone. In around 1 week (from today 7/3/25) both zones will be available for all carriers to rebid.

There's two 204b's that will be allowed to bid which takes two spots since they have more senority than me. Also 5 full routes were abolished from both zones. I believe two T6's strings have become incomplete because of the abolished routes.

Questions;
1. Can 204b's bid on an in-house bid process?
2. Was this in-house bidding supposed to be for all carriers at once or it had to be by zones (zip codes)?
3. Can T6's also bid here?
4. Some abolished routes were inspected or checked without the regular on it because of FMLA or sick leave, is this a grievance and those routes can comeback available for the bidding process?

Thanks in advanced!
