What Is a Bid?

A bid is your reserved flight. When you bid on a schedule, you are telling the system:

“This is the flight I am planning to fly next.”

At UVA, pilots are limited to one active bid at a time, helping keep operations organized and realistic.


How This Page Works

If You Have No Active Bid

You’ll see a “No Active Bid” screen with quick-access options to:

  • Browse schedules

  • Search for flights

  • Return to assignments

  • Select your next flight

You must add a bid before you can begin flying.


If You Have an Active Bid

When you have a bid, this page becomes your flight planning center.

You’ll see:

  • Flight Number / Ident

  • Departure Airport

  • Arrival Airport

  • Scheduled Departure / Arrival Times (if available)

  • A live route map showing your departure and destination

This page confirms exactly what you’re scheduled to fly.


Important Rules

One Active Bid Policy

UVA allows one active bid per pilot.

If you already have a bid:

  • You cannot add another flight.

  • You must either fly and submit the PIREP
    or

  • Remove your current bid before selecting a new one.

This keeps the operation clean and prevents “bid stacking.”


After You Fly

Once you complete your flight and submit your PIREP:

  • Your bid will clear automatically.

  • You’ll be able to select your next flight.

If your PIREP enters pending status (for AutoPIREP review), your bid will remain until it is processed.
