Is the website through flightline.com?? Thanks in advance.
Easybid is decent enough, to get the year end perdiem, you have to pay them and it takes several weeks. I started using prodiem for that and they get it to you in a few days.
The only worthwhile feature of Easybid, in my opinion, is you get easy swap for free. If you are relatively junior, after your schedule comes out, in about 10-15 minutes you can put in blind swaps for better trips and sort exactly which trips you would prefer flying instead of your own. Those swaps sit in Icrew all month and if a trip hits open time during a pcs run that you've put in for, it will snag it for you. It's a great tool for improving your schedule that doesn't require a lot of work. QOL, baby.
