Airline pilots using iPad bidding app?
 

Just doing a quick survey of what airline pilot groups have for bidding their schedules.

Old fashioned manually, a Windows/Mac app, online web app, or an iPad app?

I'll start:
-UPS pilots can use BidPro (Windows/Mac), although no longer sold or supported by BidPro; no iPad app option.
-SWA pilots have two bidding app options on the iPad and Windows/Mac.
-United is working on an iPad app.

Any others?

Thanks!

FedEx has two bidding app options for the iPad, one for PC, one for Mac. The PC, Mac, and one of the iOS apps are all written by the same guy, and are essentially the same piece of software (from the end users point of view).

Delta is once again leading from behind on IT matters. The company's bid software only runs on a Windows. There is a web client but it's clunky and slow.

The 3rd party software (easybid) is only marginally supported and also only runs on Windows. If you want to run them on a Mac, you've got to buy your own replicator software and your own Windows software (although the company will give you Windows Xp in certain situations). Nothing for iPad or the company-provided Surface RT tablet.

JetBlue uses a software called "Navtech PBS". There is no iPad app but the website runs on a tablet with little trouble.

An Alaska pilot is working on an iPad program but it is very limited at the moment.
