Bidding remains at the heart of BidPlus. It's where we began. We were the first to offer an automated solution to bidding (1986), and remain the only product designed by and exclusively for flight attendants. Every other product available on the market today was first designed for use by pilots, and later adapted for use by flight attendants. This is an important fact. The bottom line is this ... a program that is built for the information management needs of a pilot will never fully meet the demanding needs of a flight attendant. It will simply never happen. Only a flight attendant can understand this. A flight attendant has to work every piece of equipment the company operates -- each with as many as a dozen different positions. Multiply that by hundreds of LOFs and even more IDs and you start to get the picture. It's in this arena that BidPlus cut it's teeth on automated home processing. As a result, after years of development and testing, we were awarded a U.S. patent. Not an easy thing in the software business. As a result you won't find our technology anywhere else.

What is "our technology". It's easy. To sum it up, we've developed a program that places the power of the computer at your disposal without sacrificing the control and flexibility you demand. Bidding is an extremely personal process. No two people do it exactly the same way. BidPlus lets you bid the way you always bid. You remain in complete control. You don't have to assign priorities, compromise your requirements, or in any way give up your destiny to a computer.

How do we do this? It's easy. Basically you construct a number of smaller bids within one larger bid. Each mini-bid is comprised of a given set of criteria. Based on these criteria, the program selects those lines that meet your needs exactly. The lines you see won't meet some of your criteria, most of your criteria, or some combination of your criteria. These lines will be the real deal.

 
The results of your search are then stored in a Bank. This Bank contains only the LOFs that fit your specific combination of criteria. You are then able to repeat this process, creating as many Banks as necessary to complete your bids.

Since you are the one creating the Banks (the computer is not "thinking" for you), the results are exactly what you want, and stored in exactly the order that you have placed them in. Additionally, a variety of editing features allows you to manipulate the LOFs into any order you want, either from within the Bank, or from Bank to Bank. You can move several hundred LOFs at once, or one line at a time, all with the click of your mouse. This is all done while simultaneously viewing the LOFs and their IDs

This is Power, Control, Flexibility, (and Patented)!

The idea is to let you bid using the method you prefer, right? You just want to do it faster and more efficiently. Want to find the lines that have all Tuesdays off, no all-nighters, no 737N, check in's after 1000 for most of the line, all 2 day trips, no more than 4 legs a day...and then have all the resulting LOFs arranged by holiday pay most to least? No problem. We deliver exactly what you ask for. No more, no less. Get as detailed as you want. And as long as the combination of criteria you've requested exists somewhere in the bid package, it will be displayed to you in about 1 second.
 
And of course the question always comes up, "What if I just want to look through the lines and select mine manually?". We understand that some of you aren't that comfortable with a program selecting the lines for you. No problem. You can still use the program to download your bids and review the LOFs complete with your holiday pay, vacation pay, and paycheck displayed at your pay rate.

And, you still get the benefit of having all of the information, your IDs & LOFS, displayed on the same screen in the format that you've grown accustomed to. When you're done you can still use the program to upload your completed bids to Unimatic. Control is the key, no matter what the method.

You can even use the program to print the entire bid package if you want. (But why on earth you'd want to is beyond us!) Why did you spend all that money on your computer and sign up for AOL anyway? We've had folks ask us for years for a faster, easier way to do their bidding. Printing out the whole bid package and going through it by hand is neither fast nor easy! Free yourself from the old mentality! We can guarantee that you're going to miss things when you bid by hand. It's simply unavoidable. There is just too much information to manage effectively without the assistance of a computer. If you're not using us, those who are have a definite advantage over you in terms of convenience, control, and efficiency. In fact, we've had people tell us that they try to keep our program a secret -- just so they can maintain that advantage and get trips their seniority wouldn't ordinarily support. You probably pay $5/month in gas and parking just to pick up your bids. And you still have to do them by hand anyway. How much is your time worth?

Power, Control, Flexibility, Speed, Accuracy, Value, and Ease of Use. That's what's important!!
