visual procedures,
I see you were right, complete incompetence (incompetency) on my behalf, as I asked a number of colleagues and indeed it appears as though everyone is getting exactly what they bid for except me.
Further more I found the button that allows me to choose how many hours I want to fly each month. I've chosen 50 hours for my next bid cycle to give me a bit of a rest, and spend some time with the family.
Thank you..
