Schedule availability
If the monthly bids close on the 12th, it takes the computer system 5 days to figure out the FOs schedule?!?! What are they running the program on, a Tandy 1000?!?!

Yeah, but why does it take three days to run the captain lines? If electricity travels at roughly the speed of light, and it’s all done on a computer, how many light years away are the computers they use? Are they outsourced to a galaxy far, far away? Hell, it only takes 2 minutes for a flight plan to get from the computer to the printer….

At least the old system you could put your avoid or desire preference from 1-1000. So when you have 900+ trips to pick from you get to put them into only 7 weighted categories now, and it still takes 5 days to figure them out.
Its likely poor coding as well as a slow processor. Not to mention the PBS interface which is like learning a new language.
We deserve better.
