What bidding system is in use now? Are there tools available (like the QuickBid program that Envoy pilots can pay for) to make bidding a little simpler?

Everyone bids on paper?

While we are archaic no one bids on paper. It's an option, but why would you do that. It's straight line bidding through an online form

If we all bid on paper, management might reconsider the absurdity of looking through piles of paper for all these pilots...

A new bidding system is going to be used as a bargaining chip during upcoming negotiations. We will get PBS/FLICA, if we give up something else we like

It should be the other way around. This setup is costing major money in efficiencies and triple premium for the company... they have more incentive for better schedules and we shouldn't be giving anything up. If anything we should be bargaining for something in exchange for PBS/FLICA.

I agree 100%. But everyone is so tired of our schedules that I wouldn't be surprised to see us give something up to work out a solution. I personally wouldn't, but im not counting it out

I think getting rid of the interface for another method of scheduling would be a fair deal

I'd give up crew meals to get 3 days off between trips
