Ref Post #21 by Pagan Angel....

I've never heard of this ' wish to avoid ' option in bidding systems - I suppose because I've never worked in a company large enough to need / merit / have bidding systems....

At our place, we just know who doesn't get on with who and try to avoid pairing them whenever that's possible....

But it's got me thinking....

Is this normal for all companies with bidding systems, to have this ' avoid ' option ?

And can Capts bid to avoid specific F/O's ? That could really screw someone's career....

And I wonder what happens for companies with larger crew numbers than us but who don't have a bidding / avoid system - think the famous ' You're my bitch now ' incident at FlyBe a couple of years ago....Not too sure FlyBe had a bidding system in place at the time, but that particular crew appears to have been a marriage made in hell....
