BIDSMART.US does the same thing for free and all that Alaska pilot asks for is, if you feel like it go ahead and donate to a worthy charity, NOW THAT'S A STAND-UP GUY!
There is no system “out there”. If you are talking about preferential bidding, that is not workable at all with our contract. When we have a contract that can accommodate preferential bidding, everyone in ALPA scheduling will happily put it together including JW. The only base anyone needs a bid sorting program for is Seattle….Not enough lines in the other bases to make it worth it.
