Bid board and flight equipment

Post by maj »

I noticed while doing my bid for November that the bids do not show what equipment is used for the flights. I only fly the 747 and two of my flights are 767's. Is
that information only available after the bids were confirmed? Perhaps I screwed up but I won't be doing the 67 flights.

No problem there...Volker is actually looking into the possibility of adding a Preference Bid (very basic initially) function that each of you can save certain preferences for the autobid. The catalyst for this function is this scenario because not everyone has every aircraft type. We are exploring it and hopefully able to program it.

In the mean time, I'll see if Volker is able to add the aircraft type to the flight listing in the bid dropdowns for each week so at least you can see what you are selecting when manually bidding.

Yes, exaclty had the same problem. In the past you could open the box with assigned aircraft tail number and type information and departure time etc. This time it was not possible.
