	== Schedule Bidding System ==		== Schedule Bidding System ==

	~~When rank-based scheduling is enabled, FSFO scores~~ route ~~candidates and applies~~ a ~~bidding system~~.		Lets you request specific route segments when generating a Career Mode schedule. Enter your bids in the '''Route Bid''' box using directional airport pairs separated by commas, for example: <code>KBOS-KBGR,KBGR-KDEN</code>. Bids are '''directional only''', so <code>KBOS-KBGR</code> is different from <code>KBGR-KBOS</code>. FSFO applies bids '''in the order entered''', and each bid must maintain schedule continuity — the next bid must depart from the airport where the previous leg ended, otherwise the remaining bid is wasted..

	Route ~~scoring currently considers~~:

	* base block-~~time value~~
	* penalties for very short flights
	* rank-~~based length bias~~
	* preferred-airport ~~bonuses~~

	~~FSFO then divides scored routes into a preferred top bucket and a lower bucket.~~		If '''Schedule Based On Rank''' is enabled, each bid leg is awarded based on the pilot’s current rank:

	<div style="margin:0.6em 0; padding:0.8em 1em; background:#eef3fb; border-left:6px solid #1f4fa3; border-radius:8px;">		<div style="margin:0.6em 0; padding:0.8em 1em; background:#eef3fb; border-left:6px solid #1f4fa3; border-radius:8px;">

	Rank 4 = 90%		Rank 4 = 80%
	Rank 5 = 95%		Rank 5 = 90%
	</pre>		</pre>
	</div>		</div>

	If ~~the bidding roll succeeds~~, FSFO ~~selects from~~ the ~~top 30% of scored routes. Otherwise~~, it ~~selects~~ from the ~~lower portion of the list~~.		If '''Schedule Based On Rank''' is disabled, FSFO will try to honor the requested bid exactly as entered, but only if it can still build a continuous schedule from the pilot’s current location.
