Pretty sure it's easy bid. I use easy swap and the hardest part is getting started. Their support leaves a little to be desired but it's a good, albeit out-dated, product. Try calling the number on the flightline website and have them walk you through it. It's not very intuitive the first time.

Shadow is for PBS bidding purposes only. Any trips awarded in the shadow period will be dropped (with pay) because you are not qualified to fly them. If your training/OE is delayed and conflicts with trips that fall after the shadow, they will be dropped and you will be paid for them - unless the OE operates over the same days, then you would get the greater of the 2 trips. The shadow is simply a best-guess from the company on how much of the month (for bidding purposes) you will be unavailable because you aren't yet qualified.

To all my fellow APCer's: I just put in my last bid as a DL pilot, Sept is my retirement date. Me and 6 other retiring 777 Captains are throwing a huge retirement party in ATL Oct 24th that could go down in history. Open bar,catered, live entertainment and transportation to from parking.
Timbo, Scambo and all ATL 777 pilots are already on the invite list. FTB, 80, Newk,Carl, Alpha, Sailing, Alan,Jughead,Bar,T,Jesse, et al. please consider yourselves invited. We are sending out a save the date around the 20th of Aug and then invites early Sept so people can bid around it. This will be RSVP due to the cost involved but we're planning on last minute arrivals. This party is with significant others and even RA is on the list so please don't be shy or worry that you won't know anyone. I have enjoyed all the conversations on the Latest and Greatest and figure this would be a great excuse to get together as many APCer's as possible. If you are interested please pm me your contact info and I will add you to my list.
The retiree's involved are; Ron Norris, Paul Faulkner, Marc Lugash, Gene Robinson, Warren Zatazalo and myself Ross Campbell. There are 3 others that are considering joining as of this time but not yet committed.

I bid the night off, then sat on my dock drinking beer and watching the town's fireworks across the lake at midnight, while waiting for the airplanes to start falling out of the sky!
Do swaps with the pot come after white slip pickups?
Finis,
Congrats on the retirement my friend! All the best, I'll always remember the day you picked me out of the random sluggos in the NRT gym and introduced yourself. My first APC meet, very cool
