• Who is the target audience?

Pilots employed by the company with which I am employed.

• What the specific features of the app?

The program provides the ability to filter a large list of available trips based on aircraft type, ranks and bid period as well as the departure day, number of days away, included destinations etc. The alternative is to view a long pdf document and search for the desired features. The program can also place patterns onto a calendar as a simplistic bidding program. Please use the calculated credits with caution as the carry-out has been estimated on a pro rata basis.

It is free although there is an option to make a donation.
