I was just wondering what the criteria is in determining the order of the Bid list.
I noticed it is not the same oder as the Pilot Roster, which is listed in order of member number and/or date joined.
Will I ever get closer to the top of that Bid list to get those primo flights.. without the VA losing members?
Could it possibly be based on previous months order that we locked-in our bids? .. So the quickest deciders (low number of minutes after they were allowed to bid) keep thier high position on the bid list while late bidders tend to move lowered on the list... Just a thought.
There is a bug, some newcomers ate on top and they should not be; it happens sometimes but will be corrected. As far as bidding, it goes by seniority as in the real outfit.

When you join, you get a sequential number that is then used for the order of bids. In 99% of the cases, the order is the same as the pilot number. The exception would be if someone leaves and then comes back. In which case their keep their pilot number but get bumped down the list.
