For all those Easybid users out there;

I'm using easy bid to select specific pairings, awarding one pairing per line (2. Award pairings if pairing number XXXX, 3. Award pairings if ...). Easy bid is putting the last pairing I have selected (ie the least preferable) at the top of my bid and the first pairing I bid (the most preferable) at the bottom.

Does this make sense with PBS logic? I thought it treated the top and left as the most preferable, and the bottom and right as the least preferable. Thus it eliminates trips from bottom to top, right to left.

Very, very confused former box hauler. Thanks for your help. kargo :confused:

When use the Tag function in EasyBid it defaults to Insert at "X" where X is the highest line in your current bid. You're correct that after you insert your first choice, when you go to insert your second choice it will now go to the top of your bids unless you change X in the Tag insert window.

The easier way to do it is if you can see all the trips you want tag them in the order you want them, but don't hit insert until you've tagged them all. EasyBid will make a separate line for each trip in the order you selected it.

Wow. Learning has occurred. All those hours of wasted effort over the years. And, I'm leaving the line in January. Will try it out in April! Thanks, WW!

I'm not a big fan of EasyBid anymore and I'm trying to wean myself off of it, but the two things about it I really like are the Tag function and the graphical representation.

Other council reps, and both current and past members of the MEC administration.

Interesting, but very predictable. You were the chief spokesperson who constantly screamed how DPA supporters needed to channel their efforts to changing ALPA from within and get more involved. When we actually do that, you say: "time to pull together." This illustrates the hypocrisy, but also the distorted definition you and many on the MEC have of what unity means.

I'm shocked. :rolleyes:

I didn't say there is sailingfun, read it again...I reposted it above. Absent a JV agreement to the contrary, we have overall language in our current scope that mandates the company maintain the block hour percentages at not less than the percentages that existed prior to any JV. It's not a huge mistake sailingfun. It's Section 1.E.3.

Incorrect. We don't have a JV agreement yet, so Section 1.E.3 applies.

No they can't. See section 1.E.3.

Accounting 101.

What was used to purchase our 49% stake in Virgin Atlantic Pineapple Guy?

That would be great wouldn't it. But...

Don't know. Don't care. Doesn't matter. Look up "accrual accounting" or "GAAP", and let me know if you have any other questions.
