BidCheck

Bidding for your roster shouldn't take a weekend of spreadsheets. BidCheck turns what you want out of the next bid period into a complete, ready-to-enter PBS bid sheet, then keeps your roster, open time and swaps in one place. BUILT FOR QANTAS PILOTS BidCheck is made for Qantas pilots who bid through PBS. Each bid period's pattern book is already loaded. To protect it, new accounts verify once: a code sent to your @qantas.com.au email, or forward your ARMS roster. PLAN ON A CALENDAR • Paint the days you want off, your leave and the trips you're after straight onto the bid-period calendar. • Say it in plain English: type or dictate a bid brief ("home for the 14th, prefer LAX, avoid earlies"). • A live credit gauge keeps you inside your divisor and MNX window before you run anything. A BID SHEET THAT ACCOUNTS FOR EVERY REQUEST • BidCheck's AI engine ranks what you asked for and builds tiered fallbacks, day-off bids and credit totals using PBS's own bid types. • Every request in your brief is accounted for on the finished sheet. • Edit points, delete or refine with a sentence, see exactly what changed and undo it. • Step-by-step Rosterbids entry guide. HOW YOUR BID DID Once the awards come out, see what happened to every bid you filed: awarded, stopped by a bidding rule, gone to another pilot, or a seat nobody got. BidCheck reads your PBS bid report straight from Rosterbids, so it shows the bids you actually filed. BROWSE EVERY PATTERN Filter the full pattern book by week, destination, category or credit. Pattern detail shows every leg, times, slips, credit and TAFB allowance, and works offline once synced. YOUR ROSTER, ALWAYS CURRENT • Forward your ARMS roster email once and it stays current. Accept a duty in webCIS and your roster updates by itself. • Colour-coded roster calendar with trip sheets, flights, credit, leave, and a box around your MBTT days after each trip. • Subscribe your roster in Apple Calendar, Google Calendar or any calendar app, with an event for every sector. • Home Screen widget shows your roster at a glance. • Reminders for A-day contact windows, 15-4 call-in and last duty-free day, plus alerts when a new roster lands. • Share a privacy-controlled view of your roster with a co-parent through a link you can revoke. OPEN TIME Sign in to webCIS inside BidCheck. Microsoft sign-in and your 2FA run on your device, and BidCheck never sees your password. See trips up for pickup, each checked against your roster and your 100 hours in 28 days. Set watches for the dates, ports and bases you want, and get alerted when one appears. WHO'S WHERE AND SWAPS • See which cities BidCheck pilots are slipping in, tonight and for the rest of their rosters. Hide yourself any time in Settings. • Find pilots to swap trips with, post to the swap board, and trade base or leave swaps (beta). WEBSITES IN ONE PLACE webCIS, Rosterbids and your staff travel site open inside BidCheck. SIGN IN WITH APPLE No new password.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BWARE at none against BidCheck's 1. BWARE also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). BidCheck's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
