Default Une question stupide, si vous voulez..

WRT to the Equipment Vacancy bid screen on Caracas,

When utilizing the percentage value, you input the minimum which you are willing to accept, correct? IOW, if you are willing to suckle the most rearward mammilla while on reserve for eternity, do you select ZERO percent?

Toute orientation est la bienvenue, le ridicule est apprécié!

You select 100%.

So if you only want that bid if you end up in the top 25% you'd select 25%. If you were to be awarded a vacancy at 30%, it wouldn't award it.

If you select 0%, you will never get it.

I like this way. We didn't have this before. It's a positive change.

If from the CCS page you hit Ctrl-F3 and then three fast clicks in the bottom right corner of the browser, the Vacancy Bidding user manual will open. Its on page 143 of the manual, 3rd paragraph written in Russian.

Wow, you should really consider not trying to use French on a forum like this. Your command of the language is worse than mine when I first started flying with French speaking pilots in Quebec. I managed to insult a few including one's mother.

What I've noticed about the French is, if you mangle their language enough, they will surrender to English to stop the pain.

Yes. Almost every conversation I start in France turns into "Oh, your an American" and they gladly speak English. Better than the Brits I might add.

BMEP, I know exactly zero French. That's Mister Google translator. I intentionally porked up my entry on the English side to provide some levity. Or not.

Mon Ebonics est beaucoup plus précise . Promettre .
