1 or a few times, yes. But someone with 10 emails was just clicking and probably was a major contributor to the crash. I understand the need to be competitive, but that's overkill.

Site was slow and crashing. He was hitting refresh and the submit button with it not working. Turns out it was working, kinda

Hopefully they audit everything because I have heard this a few times.

It's all the Skywest pilots trying to submit their form that crashed it.;)

Like I said. I got 4 emails but it was not intenional. Easy and honest mistake because the site keeps crashing but if i get 4 dates assigned to me i will be surprised.

Got 10 dates, will sell them for 50 a pop.

Are you being serious? I tried continuously for over an hour and couldn't get the site to load until it was full. Pretty frustrating, hoping they take alternates...

You strike a hard bargain. 45 for you.

Got the form, submitted, but no email.

Such a regional airline-ey process - crappy from, broken site, unclear instructions. Par for the industry.

What a joke. This is so Regional Airline.. Waited patiently at the computer for 15 minutes like a good little pilot until 11:59 Eastern time, Then started trying to refresh the screen to get the sign up form at noon. Nothing.. crashed.. POS!!!!! GD regional pilot feeding frenzy it was. Things got crazy.. I think someone threw a trident.. And Brick Killed a guy.

So, I Refreshed 478,000 more times for 20 minutes.. ;server error; Finally got a form, filled it out. Crashed again.. And again, and again.. Filled out the stupid form 78 more times.. Every time it crashed saying "server error" while trying to submit it. Finally got one through.. and one confirmation email (of nothing guaranteed).. And won't know until the 21st, after our monthly bids close for next month on the 20th. So can't bid for a specific date in advance. Not that it matters because 2.5 million other regional pilots got in right away even though many "tried" to be there right at noon. So that sucks..


All times are GMT -8. The time now is 10:24 PM.
