Quick BidX question

I never noticed this before, but some of the lines in the bid pack appear in a light green background. I couldn't figure out why. Anyone know?

Yep. Those are the top 50 Block time lines. Good if your trying to consolidate or build time for a "real airline job"

Well, in the 75 bid pack, there are over 70 lines in light green and several of those lines are in the 50 lowest block time lines, even if you include carry over.

Error Processing Trips Try downloading again

767 HKG bid pack wouldn't download. Got the above messages.

Anyone have a clue on a fix?

Hey Pin,
Are you sure your looking at Block, not Credit?

Yep, I'm sure I'm looking at block. Even more sure when one of the lines in light green has less than 28+00 hours. I hope that isn't BLG.

Seriously, once I added the lines I had put in the omitted column to the count, there were over 110 lines in the 75 bid pack that were light green. Maybe there was a glitch, I don't know. All I know is that for the April bid pack, a light green line didn't equate to one of the top 50 block hour lines. I never knew what the light green meant either.

Edit:

I just looked at the BidX website and in the FAQ section it states that the light green lines are lines that have at least 30 block hours or are in the top 50% in term of block hours for the month for consolidation purposes. A little different than the top 50. That makes a lot more sense.
