We all understand your desire to "keep it real", however, there is no penalty to jump to ANC to start your next flight.

I believe it's not "real" to be never at home again 
In the real world pilots are jump seating too, to home and then back to where they start again I believe?

Yes Peter
Or they are booked on regular commercial flights as passengers, and can travel on a "Must Ride" basis, even if their airline gets a discounted airfare, if there is nothing from their own company that will get them to where they have to pick up their next flight, or to get them home for a while.
A lot of airlines offer tech crews from other airlines travel like this, as it might be necessary to get one or more of their own crews somewhere at some time and the other airlines will reciprocate.
This we can simulate any time, without having to worry about one of our flights going to where we have to be.
I think we have had enough of this. Just get on a regular virtual flight or fly one yourself to get to where you have to be. As much realism as is sensibly possible is put into this VA, but we have to do some of it ourselves.

Your bid flight should be in the "select flight" box when you click the arrow, now that it is June. I still have the older version of GCP, as I've found it's better to wait a while, when something new comes out, ie; - until the bugs are out or it. But, by the look, it operates the same way with the boxes in different positiomns in the window. It works the same as if you selected an Atlas charter or a Titan flight.
If your flight does not appear thwere go to the "Flight Operations" tab then "Route Assignments", checkthat your bid flight or flights are there and I think you can enter the details manually. I noticed they still have the May flights there, it should be changed soon. (Also I am GMT + 10 here and the guys that do this will still be asleep!!).
