Biddng Software?

Tambralyn · 04-25-2007, 11:24 PM

Can anyone recommend (if it even exists) any bidding software other than BidPro? For some reason they're not offering it for AE anymore only AA. DH tried to be so careful about his bid packet last month after I complained that he never gets any weekends off for us to spend some time together. He spent hours combing over the packet, and somehow, he managed to get a composite line that he didn't even bid on! Plus 2-3 days of reserve. And it's completely uncommutable. He'll only be able to come home for two of his off periods.

He's of the opinion that he's far enough up the seniority last after almost four year s(has it really been that long that we've been dealing with these crappy schedules?!) that he should have gotten something that he bid on. He bid on over 40 lines, for Pete's sake.

Doug uses Easybid, but i'm not sure just anyone can get it.

Bill's bidding software was....me! Until PBS, I just refuse to learn it!

Sorry I don't have any info for bidding software for AE. But I do know that Bill used to bid at least as many lines that his seniority number was. EX. if he was number 90 he would bid 95 lines. Even though they were crappy he (I) would put them in order of least crappiest.

Brendan does all the bidding himself- he said he actually likes to look at each pairing/line. He also bids at least as many numbers as his seniority number is.....except this month, he only bid 20 and then opted out (bid reserve) since he needed to have off for his interviews...he actually got his #6 choice for some reason.

Brendan bids for commutability which is why he looks at every pairing/line.
