Woolley,
As one has come to expect, you've answered a question(s) with a question(s), not an answer(s). Clearly, you are one of these people that shouts 'problem, problem, problem' rather than 'solution, solution, solution'. I'm the latter of these I hasten to add.
I don't object to being hated by you, you're obviously a hot-head who shouts rather than talks, I have no idea how many UK airlines have bidding systems, I haven't done UK airlines for a number of years, been doing JAA airlines more recently.
I find that spreading one's wings broadens one's experience, thanks for explaining what 'ignorance' means, it was a word I had forgotten, it's obviously still fresh in your mind though.
