Flight Booking Hold Time

Post by Cat » Sun Sep 06, 2020 9:21 pm

This is not so much of a bug, more of a curious question: Has the time allowed for a pilot to fly a flight from moment of booking been increased? It used to be 24 hours and then FSA would auto cancel the flight and bill the pilot.

I have been seeing some extended hold times from a couple of our pilots, sitting on flights .... this is not problematic until they are also sitting on priority packages, as no one else can touch them while the flight is still booked.

It has increased over time, its now 72 hours. Too many pilots had issues where they needed to re-fly and 24 hours was too short when you have to fly around work, family, real life.

Got it - Thanks for the clarification! Knowing is better than guessing. :)
