All I know is if I let my wife do my bidding/trading for me, I'd be seeing my last sandy beach for a looooong time. I'd be packing long johns for sure...

That would be one reason why I've always been around to do my own trading.

Quote from one of the Bro's wife, "I don't know why you spend so much time on your bid. All you have to do is use the code for highest BLG w/CO"

Question

How does this system work? Is it something that requires your computer to be up and running to execute the trades(which won't help if you are flying) or is it something where you upload your trades to some kind of server that executes the deal at the appropriate time?

It is a program that runs on your PC (no web-based, no servers). It uses IE to access the pilot website and do selected things (open time, jumpseats, trip trades, mainframe, etc). For auto-jumpseats and auto-trip trades, you pre-load your choices, do a time check and then it counts down and executes at 'the appointed hour'.

Ok, that's what I was afraid of, thanks FBK.

Sorry, but as alluded to earlier, how much do you trust your wife or kids or mistress??

If nothing else go to the website (it doesn't bite ) and get the free Contract formatted as a Help File.
