With 10-12 TRIPS not percent out of almost 600 total trips on the 320 commutable in NY it’s not a commuter friendly base. The only thing that keeps me there is there are other perks with seniority. Ive got a few bids in with percentage qualifiers. If I’m going to lose days on front or back ends of trips I might as well get paid $80 more per hour.

Could you clarify my understanding of this? It only shows the number of pilots with a category as their first selection and not those with it as second or further down, correct? In your example, the pilots with 777A in first and 717A next would not show for someone checking on 717A?

Crewdog finds the tool relatively useful, and I find it relatively useless. I've never had it influence my own bid and find it nothing more than a novelty as implemented.

I should add, it has zero impact on my bids. I put in the 330B bid when I was indoc and would just check it before every AE and compare it with the results. I just was able to predict, with relative confidence, I was going to get the award. Once I got the 330 award, I put in my Captain bids. Watching it HAS caused me readjust by percentage bids because I felt I was getting to close to being awarded one of my Captain bids. That said, with the current shenanigans going on in the domestic system, I have actually pulled my Captain bids.

If you live in NYC or have a easy commute might be a fun gig for 2 years even being on RSV. Especially if you get Int'l trips. Crazy times we're living in that it's even a possibility below 20 years on property

Here is the "fun" part of that screen....

Let's say the company posted 25 vacancies for MSP717A and, you look in iCrew on the AE screen and see there are only 24 pilots total that are senior to you with an AE bid for MSP717A. In theory, despite it looking like a certainty, you may not get the award if the company only decided to fill 20 of the 25 vacancies due to excessive training churn. However, as SF said, many of those senior to you probably have some type of qualifier associated with their bid that won't be honored as the AE process churns through so, the numbers you see senior to you are, most likely, an inflated snapshot. As always, bid what you want and want what you bid because you just might get it. But, along the same lines, don't avoid bidding something you want just because there are 180 pilots senior to you with bids in. You would be amazed how quickly many of those 180 are bypassed on an AE run due to qualifiers.
