Bid flights for September 2009 already?

Just noticed that on the "Route Assignments" page for September 2009, I (and others) seem to already have some flights scheduled for us. Did I miss the bid dates for this Sept.? I don't start looking for the bids to be open until around the 17th of the month (I usually get an e-mail notification telling me that bids are open), where in September 2009's case, this would be coming up in about 10 days from when I'm writing this. Did I miss something? Perhaps because I had just came off of a leave of absence these flights would be scheduled for me? It may be that there are other forces at work here; alignment of the planets, solar flares, -gremlins!

Regards,

Robert

No, you didn't miss anything. What you are seeing is the bids from last year. The table that holds the routes is re-used. I used to manually clean the old months in the past but new code in the system automatically cleans the old data when the bids for the next month start. Maybe I will modify the code to remove the next two months instead to avoid any confusion...
