Default Fastbid Problems again

Now that the December bid packs are out I tried to download the MD-11 bid pack but got the response that Fastbid does not reconize the bid is out. Tried all the other Dec bid pack but to no avail. Anybody else coming up short with Fastbid for the December bid packs.................

I got it to download okay. But it seems to have problems filtering for my days off and TAFB requests. Gonna have to watch this bid real close!

I had trouble downloading the bidpacks my first several attempts, I have no idea why? Tried again an hour later and it worked fine (have had this problem occasionally before?).

PS ... I always try to remember to check for the latest version before I attempt to download

I downloaded the old fashion way (from the website) and used Process New Bidpack. No problems noted in my first sweep through the MD11 lines.

Fast Bid is up to 4.28 now. I tried to update from within the fast bid program, but it didn't work. Downloaded the zip file from www.fdxbid.com and and ran it fine. Probably just a problem with my new laptop - using Vista...

That is correct. I communicated with Jim B. on that very issue. You do have to do it the way you mention above.

Double check your fastbid lines. Calendar view for boeing S/O line 119 is TU.
