Crew Bidding

Every bid awarded fairly, every award explained

Crew Bidding turns pilot and cabin-crew preferences into productive, legal rosters. Bids are awarded in seniority order against your collective agreements, each crew member sees why they got their line, and the published roster flows straight into Crew Scheduling & Management. Under the hood: the same shared data model and rules engine as the rest of Air OS, so seniority, agreement terms, duty limits and your own rule sets are defined once.
