Doubt it was your bidding
Doubt it was your bidding. I'm second top too and had a peek via Apollo yesterday and it was what I wanted (had been so for a couple of days). Then checked when the roster came out and lots of flights in the wrong direction but more disappointing was the main points of my bid... A flight back to see my wife and new born on Christmas Day gone.

I'm starting to think they've scrapped the bid system altogether but have failed to let us know. They've kept the software up so we continue to live in hope that we might, one day, get something we've actually requested. Like many others I'm also second top bid - got nothing from my bid.

I am saying that for years, the system is off, if you get what you want its just a coincidence.
for almost 2 years I am trying to get a certain flight and had no luck, in dec I am in bottom and didn't even bid and got it.

It's a joke.
I have never had my inbox filled up at such a pace. Spam is benign in comparison. It seem's like nobody got what he wanted.
Now i wish each and everyone happy reading of why our mutual swaps of flights the one didn't bid for, but received, and the flight he wanted, but the other one got planned, is refused .......
It's sometimes hard to believe that it's not intentional.

Simple reason for roster disaster this month is not enough pilots for the required flying.
That combined with too many company rules in CRS, makes it impossible for it to build a decent roster

If you are using the same system as the CC, any month containing ground duty will be manually built. I have this direct from someone who knows.
Since pilots almost always have some sort of ground duty, it would explain why you never get what you want.
I was basically told don't bother to bid if you have LV/SEP/Sim/Office etc....

Whoever told you that is incorrect.
Whenever there are training duties such as SEP, Simulator, CRM etc, planning will work at least one month ahead of normal rosters and these are then pre assigned into the calendar for next month. Your roster bid will then have to work around what has then been already assigned. 'Phantom' credits are applied but not always adhered to if they are short and need to fly planes. That's why in some months you'll have been payed for your 90-92 hours but a few courses will take the actual duty hours well over 100. Check your rosters over the last 12-24 months and it's a coincidence that whenever we're over the monthly threshold, it's inevitably for a duty without payment thus not attracting overtime.
The current system is not fit for purpose, has too few pilots to run without manual insertions and has far too many other restrictions in place courtesy of one certain person. Micromanagement is his idea of ruining, sorry, running our rosters. There will be a new system to replace CRS within the next 12-18 months and I can guarantee one thing is for sure. It will be designed purely for Company satisfaction rather than ours.
I hope to be proved wrong but I shall not hold my breath.
