Bidding Training

"How to Bid" training ceased around 1996.
Most CC employed after that date were provided with no formal training on how to use the system.
Now that they have some seniority they are not sure on how to capitalize on it.
There are a couple of crew who I have seen conduct onboard bidding classes in the back galley.I have learnt a few things from these guys and my rosters have improved.
They used to be called Work System Advisors and were disbanded due to cost(which I doubt).
The company has never really wanted CC to know how to bid.
The less crew know the more their rosters are allocated from their standing bids.
Though this process QCCA are able to achieve reasonable rosters.
Put some pressure on the Company to provide "How To Bid "books and some training.
The last" How To Bid" book was published in 1988
