  • Mode 2 will show only flights which are available for booking by the pilot according to the limits set in the admin panel.

Jumpseat:
The Jumpseat option allows your pilots to transfer themselfes to a different airport.
Pilots can be eother transfered immediately or you can set a time in minutes per 20NM distance between their current location and the selected new location.
If you select this option a trip time for their transfer will be automatically calculated and your pilots will have to wait until they have arrived at their new location before making a new bid.
