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.

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.

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.
