I wonder if anyone would be interested in this as a subject, as line bidding becomes the norm for all, maybe you have questions about bidding, block rules, anything. Post your question, I will try to help, and I am sure many others have answers too.

Hi I was wondering wether there is a way to have the computer select blocks with less trips into Pearson (for commuters) someone mentioned TAFB in descending order would do the trick is that so?
Thanks

For fewest trips to the airport, yes it is true, if you select the filter option TAFB in descending order, the blocks with the most time away show first. If you place an additional filter item of departure times, using no departures before, it will help to. Caution though, remove your departure time filter at some point to see remaining blocks, as even a block with one departure before your specified time will not display. You can do this with arrival times as well.

Thank you very much for confirming that, I like to let the computer do the work for me but this month I messed up because I didn't think there was a way to make it display blocks with less trips in to Pearson. And it resulted in my having to get a commuter place!
I'll try the descending TAFB with later departures for March.
PS isn't it exciting that we will finally all be bidding together? Let's move on to a successful future, :wink_2: hopefully without a war!

I think MYAH was referring to a possible war in Iraq.

flyingyyz, you weren't the only one to think what you thought but at least now myah has personally cleared up the ambiguity. :laugh:
