Sorry, I forgot about this post!

I'll spare you a long story, but up until about 5-6 years ago most south guys depended religiously on FDS (Flightline Data Services) for access to DBMS an most importantly for pre-PBS days, EasyBid. To spare you an even longer story, FDS was bought out by Sabre Solutions (not sure just what they do) and business is better elsewhere. That said, they still support Delta pilots and offer different plans. You need to download the Widget Works software.

FDS still has access to DBMS that most others don't. The interface is--no kidding--1960s technology that they have shown zero interest in updating. Still, for quick access to open time (but not the swapboard) it is actually quicker than logging on via iCrew.

So download the WidgetWorks software, mess around a bit with the interfaces. EasyBid and EasySwap are both free, I believe. They have adapted EasyBid for working with NavTech's PBS, but the two aren't officially connected at all. Some pilots still use EasyBid but most don't.

The "Alert Manager" is what you might want to check into. Again, it requires a $5/month plan I believe. You will be amused by how primitive the interfaces are with this software, but I still find it useful.
