Build your bid. Know what you can hold.
Tell it the month you want and it builds all 7 PBS layers from your seniority. Or ask what you'd hold at another base, fleet, or seat — it knows your rank everywhere, so you can weigh an upgrade or transfer before you bid it.
A senior pilot who knows PBS cold — not a form.
You don't fill in dropdowns. You tell it what you want out of the month — weekends off, no red-eyes, home for the kids, max credit, commutable — and it does the rest. It already has your rank, base, fleet, last month's award, and the real pairing data, so the layers it builds are specific and realistic, not generic PBS advice.
- Plain-English in — seven ready-to-bid layers out
- Real report times, credit ranges, days, and layover cities
- It tells you why each layer is set the way it is
- Honest about what your seniority can and can't hold
From "what you want" to a bid you can submit.
Describe your month.
In life terms, not PBS terms. "Weekends off, nothing over 3 days, home by dinner." A screenshot of your standing bid helps it dial in.
Seven layers, specific settings.
Exact report windows, credit ranges, days, and real layover cities — ordered most-important first, with the reasoning for each.
Copy them into PBS.
The layers come back as a clean numbered list. Screenshot it, enter it in PBS, adjust anything you want first.
Everything it needs to bid for you.
Where you stand
Your seniority number, percentile, and bid position at your base and fleet — the real number from the live roster, not an estimate.
What you held
Last month's award — layer, credit hours, days off, weekends — used as the most direct predictor of what's realistic next.
What you can hold
Layer distribution against your rank, at your base and others — useful when you're weighing a transfer or a new strategy.
The numbers that matter
Line Construction Window and Minimum Average Line Value for your status, plus when the bid packages open and close.
