AskPubs answers from the manuals, contract, and regs you fly by — with the page cited. Bid Builder Beta builds your PBS bid step by step, and the AskPubs Chrome extension puts it into PBS for you. PBS Helper answers questions about your own bid, award, and standing. Seniority shows where you stand and what another seat could pay. Training puts your fleet's training prep in one place. TLDR tells you what changed in manual revisions and bulletins. TTS Beta finds you a pilot to trade a trip with. Same login, built around the pilot flying the line.
Thousands of users. Tens of thousands of queries answered.
Manuals, contract, regs, MEL — ask in plain English and get the answer with the source cited. Code retrieves and checks the supporting passages first; AI only shapes the final wording from that evidence, and avoids guessing when support is missing.
Step by step: mark your month — vacation, training, the days you want off. Find the trips you want to fly, with every trip in your package coloured by how far down the list it went last month against your number. Add a PBS fallback, and reserve if you want it. Check and send — then, on a computer, the AskPubs Chrome extension puts the whole bid into PBS: Preview shows what will change, nothing is written until you press Update, and Undo puts back what you had. It never touches your Standing Bid.
Your fleet’s training in one place — AA’s own lessons, videos, and Crewcast beside drills for your flows, maneuvers, and callouts, organized the way AA actually trains: QUAL, REQUAL, CQ. Pick your fleet and seat. Everything is yours.
Your number, your seat, and what a different one would pay — off the live roster and the awarded bid months. See who left your seat ahead of you and where they actually went, when a seat could come into reach, and what the move is worth month by month against staying put.
Manual revisions, fleet bulletins, and PWG bulletins in one feed — each with what changed, when it is effective, and a link to the original. Time-limited items drop off when they expire. Filter to your fleet; unread markers keep your place on this device.
TLDR does not satisfy company or FAA reading requirements. Comply365 and Jetnet remain the systems of record.
Post a trip you want to drop, swap, or pick up, or a trip to lend — and see what pilots in your own bid status (base, fleet, seat, division) have posted. Tap I want this or I can help and your name, seniority number, email, and phone go to that poster, and only that poster. Posts show a seniority number, never a name; the poster's name reaches you when they reply.
TTS only puts you in touch. The trade itself still goes through the usual process.

As a new-hire 737 pilot at American, AskPubs has made my transition much easier, allowing me to ask AI rather than waiting for a response from a human.

AskPubs is definitely the future. An easy-to-access, real-time knowledge base that can point you in the right direction. I needed a quick MEL reference, and AskPubs told me exactly where to look in less than 5 seconds, saving valuable time in a critical predeparture phase.

"How do I read the HI117 message? I want to know how long until I time out."
No start time. No leg count. No augmentation. AskPubs can't do the math without inputs — so it hedges.
"My duty day started at 0600. I have 4 legs, unaugmented. What's my max FDP and when do I time out?"
Now it has the inputs. It hands you the FAR 117 value, the CBA override if there is one, and the exact citation.
Plain English — it already knows your fleet, seniority, and bid context.
The relevant passages from your documents — never the public internet.
Code checks whether those passages actually fit the question before anything is written.
Claude molds the wording from the retrieved evidence; it does not free-answer from memory.
Your manuals, contract, and regs are stored and searched on a private server we control — not uploaded to a third-party document cloud.
AskPubs uses code to retrieve, route, check, and ground the answer; Claude only molds the final wording. When you ask a question, AskPubs finds the relevant passages or PBS data first and gives Anthropic's Claude only that context to compose the response — it is not allowed to answer directly from its own knowledge, and when AskPubs can't find support it is designed to say so instead of guessing. Anthropic does not train its models on data sent through its API, and we never sell your data.
