Don't use Bidpairings, it's a $7-10 per month subscription and the guy that owns and profits from it and our line bidding misery is on the ALPA scheduling committee. I'm told he is a stand up guy and that I don't question but ask yourself when there is a way better bidding system out there that we should be using to get our QOL back, do you think he'll be in our court when he stands to lose $100-200,000 a year?
BIDSMART.US does the same thing for free and all that Alaska pilot asks for is, if you feel like it go ahead and donate to a worthy charity, NOW THAT'S A STAND-UP GUY!

There is no system “out there”. If you are talking about preferential bidding, that is not workable at all with our contract. When we have a contract that can accommodate preferential bidding, everyone in ALPA scheduling will happily put it together including JW. The only base anyone needs a bid sorting program for is Seattle….Not enough lines in the other bases to make it worth it.

"We are growing our airline back from the deep cuts we made in 2020,” Capt. John Ladner, Alaska’s vice president of flight operations, wrote in a memo sent to pilots Wednesday.
"In an interview Friday, he said the airline hopes to hire about 170 new pilots by year’s end. Alaska will report its third-quarter earnings on Oct. 21 and will lay out its growth plans in some detail then."
