Not really. The interface is different and some of the nomenclature has changed but it's very simliar to the current version, albeit more capable. Still the same ruleset (UPA) and backend, also.

They did an exceptional job with it, in my opinion. I think it's substationally more intuitive and caters well to the lowest common denominator while also allowing the "power user" to really fine-tune their bid. They really have made it possible to bid a solid bid in just a couple of minutes.

I know there will be plenty of people bemoaning any change, but we had a lot of very intelligent people working on this and assuming the production platform is as good as the one I've seen, I think I won't be alone in being impressed.

As a lowest common denominator I'm cautiously pessimistic. Definitely hope it will be better, I'm new to the system, but finding it hard after navblue to know how/what to do, even after reading a lot of the help guides.

I assure you, it's a colossal improvement. It's incredibly intuitive and includes an AutoBid function where you simply tell it your top 5 or so preferences and it'll build and submit a bid for you. Of course, you can still edit it.

It has a lot of advanced features which you may not use, but you won't need to. I think the days are largely gone where people can "gain" seniority by bidding better than people senior to them.

Is it still using the Jeppessen program behind the scenes and basically a more user friendly interface to enter your bids, or is it a completely new system? I seem to think I read it is the first that I mention but can't remember!
