Scheduling software
What scheduling software does your airline use?
I understand most airlines use flica and/or other combinations or stand alone products.
Curious what everyone's using and thinks of it in comparison?

FLICA and (Navtech) PBS. Everyone who's done both seems to think line bidding is better, but I've generally has good experiences with PBS in getting specific days off and the exact showtime/overnights/etc I want or don't want. At the same time, I think a common complaint is PBS is efficient to the point of lessening the number of required pilots at a given airline, so that seems like a valid concern.

What's a conflict bid?
Fair enough, good to hear a dissenting opinion. With line bidding, it seems like it would be hard to find a line that perfectly fits all your preferences and desired days off, especially when a senior guy might get it before you.
