EasyBid - Home

EasyBid is the pilots' favourite bidding program. It is the simplest and most popular independant electronic bidding software package, with excellent reliability, support and backup.

Why EasyBid? We think there are 4 key aspects to consider when choosing which program to use:

Reliability It is very costly in lifestyle and financial terms if your Bid Program makes an error. With EasyBid you have:

A program that has continuously evolved since launch over 10 years ago. It is not constantly being rewritten or "relaunched".

A long established program in use by over 1900 pilots each month. With this level of use, most potential problems have already been identified and removed.

Support With the complexity of the modern PC, and the necessary interactions with BA and their systems, it is vital that your Bid Program provides quick and accurate support when you need it. With EasyBid you have:

A team of 3 pilots, with both longhaul and shorthaul experience, offering a range of eMail and telephone contacts - including a dedicated 'urgent' eMail address, which will reach the first of us to log-on in case of urgent problems.

3 servers in different locations to ensure maximum availability of BidPack downloads and updates.

Latest News, Bidpacks available, Updates/Upgrades features accessible from within EasyBid.

Full support for Windows XP, 2000, NT, Vista and Windows 7, as well as support for Macintosh via Virtual PC. We also have a colleague who can help with Linux.
Microsoft no longer support earlier versions of Windows (Me/98 and 95), but we will do our best to assist with these versions.

Assurance we will not bombard you with unnecessary e-mails.

Features / Ease of Use EasyBid is, and aims to stay, clear, simple and safe to use.

We limit its features to those largely concerned with Bidding and Rosters.

We are flattered that innovative features we have introduced are now appearing in our competitors’ programs!

Simplicity is our aim. We avoid adding ‘features’ that add complexity with little benefit to most users.

Easy to use standard Windows^{^TM} interface with clear displays using colour.

Excellent Help file and lots of Help examples.

Everything has the look and feel of the BA bid packs.

Use it at Home or OnLine EasyBid can be used on your home computer / laptop or online with 'EasyBid OnLine'.

It's the same program for either the home or OnLine versions, so you only need to know how to use one program.

It can be used away from your main computer in hotels, internet cafes etc. Or use it if you don't own a home computer.

Synchronise your bids / preferences / diary entries between your home computer and EasyBid OnLine.

Can be used by Mac users who don't wish to use Virtual PC.

Can even be used on PDA's - with a recommended screen resolution of 640 x 480.

How do I get Started?

Download and Install a copy of EasyBid, which will automatically start in Demonstration mode. This will let you use all the features of the program but will not allow you to print or eBid. Once you have a Trial or Full Licence, you will be able to print and eBid.

Licences will take you to get your Trial Licence. All you need to do is enter your details and you will then receive an eMail containing your EasyBid Licence and Password. The eMail contains details for you to either save the attached Licence, or use your password from the 'Internet' menu option within EasyBid to automatically retrieve your Licence from the Internet. (So you can see there is no need for you to know anything about files, folders or e-mail attachments!).

When your Trial comes to an end, we will advise you by e-mail, giving details of how to pay for a Full Licence.
