Heyas New,

The off-line bidding application from the PBS vendor is free. That may be what you're thinking of.

"EasyBid", which is something completely different, is also free, but you are required to pay Flightline (the people who publish it) a fee for access to the DAL mainframe. Sort of how we used to have to pay Compuserve for access to the NWA mainframe...which we gave up, what? Six or eight years ago?

That's the nice thing about the DAL merger...every week we get a history lesson on how we USED to do things at NWA...next thing you know, we'll have to manually log our T/Os and landings...oops, never mind. Maybe they'll have us filling out the old manual pay sheets and hand computing flight plan next.

To bad we can't go back to the pay rates from 8 years ago.
