Had a few friends recommend EZBid a while back. I've been using by the Navtech desktop version. Just wondering what others think. Are there things that EZBid can do that the desktop version cannot? I heard that it'll give you an end of the year summary for taxes, which seems like a good enough reason.

The only worthwhile feature of Easybid, in my opinion, is you get easy swap for free. If you are relatively junior, after your schedule comes out, in about 10-15 minutes you can put in blind swaps for better trips and sort exactly which trips you would prefer flying instead of your own. Those swaps sit in Icrew all month and if a trip hits open time during a pcs run that you've put in for, it will snag it for you. It's a great tool for improving your schedule that doesn't require a lot of work. QOL, baby.

Used to use EasyBid, but every time they come out with an update to Navtech, it doesn't work with EasyBid right away. Finally gave up and just use Navtech now. As for taxes, check out Expert Per Diem Calculation Service Pilots Flight Attendants. Works well with icrew.

Might have just been my computer that did it that way, but that is what ended up working for me.

Easybid is decent enough, to get the year end perdiem, you have to pay them and it takes several weeks. I started using prodiem for that and they get it to you in a few days.

Cant get EasyBid to import my bids from PBS... just get a blank webpage in the bottom of the import thing. Used to work... no changes to computer for a year or so... any ideas?

So I guess you have to do the bids in EasyBid first and then export them to PBS?
Like I said, I'm pretty new to it, so I'm guessing that's the answer.

I'm pretty new to EasyBid, but I spoke with them today and they said that function no longer works on the program. Which...was kind of the whole point of the thing I thought?
