Ladies & Gentlemen,

Have any of you fine aviators ever submitted a trip trade and later found out that your submission was "never there"? No record of the submission in VIPS "trip trade inquiry"

If you use BidX Mobile (or BidX Pro), there is a VIPS Log that will store your Reference Numbers (until I mess the app up and you have to delete it and reinstall, which I hope to never do again). The bigger question is, have YOU had a problem, and if so, were you using BidX Mobile. If so, let me know ([email protected]).

Cheers!

BidX,

Thanks for the reply! Folks as BidX and I have said, and are inquiring, have you ever had the issue? Did you think, "Well, maybe I made a mistake" If you have ever thought that or, are sure that you did put in a trade and later found out it was never there, please chime in.

In addition, if you're using an IPhone or other device that takes "screen shots"; take my advice and make a screen shot!

Taking a screen shot of any VIPs transaction is the only way to have proper accounting.
Protect yourself accordingly.
Trades, drops, deviation requests and checkins.

Agreed! I had a trip check-in a couple of years ago that they didn't show happened. When they called me about missing my initial check in, I gave them the reference number from my screen shot, I got a "huh, thats weird, the reference number shows you checked in but the computer didn't take it. Sorry to wake you at such an early hour."

I also recommend you always write the VIPs code on your medical after you enter it into VIPs. Just might get u paid for a trip you are incorrectly removed from
