Start with the guide if this is your first time here. It explains what each page is, what it does, and where it fits in the quarterly bid timeline.

Plain-English map of every page: what each one is, what it does, and who it's for.

Reference throughout

The rules the whole process runs on: seniority, eligibility, and how a line is awarded.

Step 1 // Scheduler

Who flies here, what they are qualified on, and who is in the bid pool this quarter.

Seniority Lists

Step 2 // Scheduler

The order pilots are served in. Snapshotted with each run, so an award can be explained later.

Filters & No-Pair List

Step 3 // Scheduler

Who must not be crewed together, and any rule that narrows what the engine may do.

Step 4 // Scheduler

The lines themselves: aircraft, seats, and the days each rotation is on duty.

Step 5 // Pilot

What a pilot sees. Four ranked choices, crew preferences, time off and training.

Step 6 // Scheduler

Every bid received, in seniority order, and who has still to submit.

Step 7 // Scheduler

Runs the award, shows the seating day by day, and records any change made by hand.

Send Assignments

Step 8 // Scheduler

Tells each pilot their line, one at a time, and tracks who has been notified.

The run through from opening the bid to sending the assignments, in order.

Every page here runs on the shared database. The numbered steps are the order the work is done in, once a quarter.
