ASA Crew Bid Sucks!

[IFLYASA]

Whoa! So we can't even hide already check lines? And if you move to the next screen without "populating", then you lose your checked line?!

This is a joke. The update can't come soon enough. Why not give us Flica back until they get this thing programmed right. :angryfire

 

[Tarzan]

I agree!

 

[Medeco]

because it is a savings of $30K/month

I agree it is weak, but come on, we are operating in an environment where people are getting letters of furlough and this is worthy of a new post to FI?

Our president, even said in his update yesterday that he was doing everything he could to reduce cost in every division of our company, WITHOUT furloughing, because it pays in the long run.

Keep your head on straight.

Easy solution... Bid reserve. Take a month off with pay.

You'll thank me.

Fact is, there will be a software update. Why didn't they do this before they got rid of flica? The software had to be written for per our contract. Some basics were left out.

 

[probablecause]

Where do you find the pc/loft awards now that flica is gone?

 

[OCP]

Anyone know how to select "any" line, like in ol' flica?

 

[twott driver]

what about vacation....anyone know where that's to be found?

Under documents when you click on the CrewBid bullet on ourasa. Then go to OCT Bid Packet

This is simply not ready for use, and should never have been released before working with the crews to fix the bugs first.
It will take at least twice or three times as long for me to bid this month, as I will have to go through each line individually before "populating".
Right now it's pretty much a worthless program.

A "drunken" irishman couldn't have said it better.

 

[jetracer5]

I tried to bid 3 days like I always do but I cant figure out how to make it so I can have a exception of a 2 day or 4 day in my line that I bid????????

This progran sucks like Mesa.............hold on did JO design this???

 

[SLUF4]

My biggest complaint is that I can't somehow highlight or get rid of the lines i've already got on my bid sheet-did anyone figure that out?

 

[PooPooPants]

Try bidding on a Mac, it's even worse. You have to type each line in the bid, as opposed to use the populate feature (which sucks anyway).

Complaints on a webboard...that'll get it taken care of. Flica was continually improving as well, we just got used to it. The fact is, that at this point, it does meet with the criteria we voted on in the contract...whether it continues to do so or not will be determined once the lines come out, and it will be fixed if it doesn't. Planning stated yesterday in an email that they want and are using crew feedback to make it better, so why not give them feedback? Yup, it is not the system that Flica was, but it took us time to learn that too, and we will learn Crewbid. Our COO also stated that cutting costs for the long run is the best option. Take a little extra time this month, and give it a little time to get better. Heck- even D-0 took more than a day or week to get rolling, and look at what it's accomplished in 6 months.

So, does putting up with this crewbid to trim costs, working extra hard to conserve fuel, be on-time etc help us get just 1 900, or will they continue to all go to Pinnacle? What bidding software do they use? Maybe we should try that!

Great point!

Probably not, but it will help you keep the job you have. Just look what's happening at Comair!

 

[mtsupilot]

I hope this crap software was worth saving 7 bucks a month. I know the extra time I spent trying to make the best of this terrible CrewBid software made the Flica cost a justifiable expense. Be careful what you ask for; you just might get it.

 

[JettBoii]

It does suck and so does LWT.

 

[PFD1]

I'll be more than willing to pay the 7.95 or whatever to get flica back!! Flica helps my QOL...I cant see anything with this new crewbid crap.

 

[JoeMerchant]

Funny...when we got Flica, people complained about it....Most of our collegue's are facing furlough and we are complaining about a new bidding program that will make us more competitive and will get better over time.....

 

[JumpersAway]

Crewbid sux, deal with it. Not like we're furloughing 200+ pilots and downgrading a boat load of Captains like the other airlines. Give the company a break- at least there is a learning curve here that yields results. Some people here suffer from brown ring around the collar..............

Youre telling me there's an airline out there that cares for the welfare of its pilots???

Can I please have what you're smoking...

 

[mightyM]

For what its worth. I sent my "suggestion" e-mail to Karin.

[SLUF4]

Why should we just deal with it, when with a few minor changes it might be an awesome system? It's great that we are saving a ton of money not using FLICA and not furloughing etc..but you can't tell me it's THAT hard to make lines you've selected get highlighted on my bid sheet-it's a few extra lines of code-that's what we pay the IT geniuses for.

On FLICA I used to select the lines I liked and then click and drag them to the order I wanted. I'd like to have that back along with the shading of already selected lines. As far as the sorting, I never did it on FLICA, but I like the way it works on crewbid, I'd just like to go back and fine-tune my bid.

That's exactly what my e-mail entailed.

 

[Plainsman]

If this is from the Skywest IT department, is it the same program they use in order to bid?

 

[OCP]

They have PBS.
