Why do I get requests from far away?
Posted: Mon Apr 02, 2012 2:14 pm
I am one of the pilots here, and I love having the auto-emailed requests for transport. However, I don't think it's working right, or I have something set wrong in my profile that I can't find. I am in Dayton, OH, and routinely get auto-emailed notifications of transports that don't come anywhere near Dayton. I know about the setting under my profile of "distance I'm willing to travel one-way", and I keep adjusting it to see if that helps, but it doesn't seem to. Currently it's set at 75nm (which I'm certainly willing to fly farther than, but I was trying to see if it made a difference).
Today I got one notification for Birmingham, AL to South Burlington, VT, for which a direct line between the two, comes at the closest 141 nm away from me. And this is fairly normal. A week or so ago I got one for Nebraska to somewhere in California, I think, so the complete opposite way!
Is there something I'm missing in the profile settings, or does the automated e-mail function just not work very well?
Thanks,
Russ
