I'd suggest you look at schedules for each BES so you have an idea what to expect as far as monthly hours and destinations - if that matters to you. Personally, the comfort and much more intuitive flight deck makes the bus the only choice for me.

"Percentage bidding is not permitted, and you may only make a single selection, even if the selection you make is a category for which you are not eligible. Periodic snapshots of pilot bids will be published; the snapshots will indicate if a pilot has selected an ineligible category."

No dog in this fight but sure seems like there are an awful lot of dissapointed or confused folks having a difficult time understanding their displacement choices or lack thereof.
