Pilot's current bids
Every flight the authenticated pilot has currently bid on (and not yet flown or unbid). The Stratos client renders this as the My Bookings list. If the pilots.only_flights_from_current VA setting is enabled, bookings whose departure airport is not the pilot’s current location are filtered out server-side.
Authorizations
The pilot's API key, obtained via POST /pilot/login or your OAuth flow. Send as Authorization: Bearer <api_key> on every authenticated request.

P, C Aircraft ID assigned to the bid: the SimBrief airframe if set, otherwise the bid's aircraft. Null when no aircraft is assigned — the pilot must pick one (e.g. via /flights/change-aircraft) before starting.
Whether the pilot may switch the aircraft for this bid before starting. False when the authenticated pilot has their own SimBrief OFP for this flight — per-pilot, so another pilot's OFP does not lock it. Drives the client's dropdown-vs-text rendering.
