FDX - "Bot" Programming Phase II
Latest FCIF adds additional limitations to all trip trading activities on VIPS. Someone cr@pped their pants now we all have to wear diapers!

What exactly is affected in the BidX program? I just logged on and was able to navigate open time just fine and refresh it as well? I went to the trip trade area and attempted a fictious trade but never had to put in the "random code" Where is the change actually at?

It's a fair fight now
I'll jump in at the risk of taking a shot or two--- at least this levels the playing field. It gives everyone an equal shot at getting trips in open time and not just the botters. I use Bid X and it will suck not being able to use the trip trade function, but it was just getting too hard to get open time without the latest and greatest software. It was like going to the merge guns only and the other dude having slammers and heaters. I always prefer a gun fight myself.

There will never be a solution that makes everyone happy or meets every pilots needs--But I think this is fair. If someone's schedule requires they jump into Thursday madness every month or pick up a make up trip at 0700, then it might be time to educate the wife (or husband) on how to use Vips if it's that important.
Are the only guys "moving freight" flying on Thursdays and every morning at 0700?
