I floated this recently was told "no way" we should be able to see what other folks want. Even if we don't want to identify the pilot, a simple flag would be nice to notify you if someone senior to you has a trip in their ballot.

What does it matter though? You put in for the trip and someone senior proffers too and gets it, or you proffer, someone senior proffers 5 minutes before the run and still gets it and you didn’t know either way.

As far as TTS what’s on this person’s ballot..? You either have a trip they want or you don’t. Ballot their trip and if you get it (or not) you’ll find out I guess. I just don’t see the need is all.

If I see a trip in OT that I would take for MU that I’m sure someone senior wants for premium, I make a premium ballot and a straight time ballot. If they knew I had a straight time ballot they’d probably take their premium out. Don’t hate the player.. or something like that.

Before we argue PM vs MU, that’s a contractual battle, not with your fellow pilot.

Having FLICA wouldn’t change anything. You just don’t like our trip trading rules. You’re not wrong, but you’re mad at the wrong thing.

I want real time trading that doesn’t end the day prior to a trip. I don’t like having to wait for batch runs. Those rules are independent of the system.

TTS has a way better UI and functions very well operating within the constraints of our trip trading rules. That’s not really arguable.

Anyone wondering about Reserve flex, don't read into any of the drift about TTS...

RAS questions will be better for this thread/interested parties.

I mean people still post trips and don't realize that nobody can see them. People have to use APA Marketplace.

No one can see them because they don’t know how to use it.

Seems to be a problem with the interface. Flica was much user friendly.

No, it’s a problem with lazy pilots not watching/reading simple instructions on how to use it. It’s so easy a caveman can do it.

APA Marketplace user interface is terrible. Way worse than the TTS interface. TTS should be a one stop shop for everything.

Exactly, I’ve never used APA marketplace because everything is easily done in TTS.

You can’t offer incentives on TTS
