The PBS Web Bidder works seamlessly with its Scheduler counterpart to create a customized training, flying and reserve schedule that satisfies management’s operational needs and crew members’ flying preferences. The PBS Scheduler gives administrators the ability to manage all of the information pertaining to crew members and the bid period, and then, balances it against important details such as the airline’s rules, the seniority of the individual crew members, details for the bid period and more. The Scheduler gives administrators access to multiple reports on crew members, pairings, and bid period information to run multiple simultaneous staffing scenarios. The results are efficient, optimized staffing solutions that meet the crews’ preferences for “quality of life” in a 24 by 7 work environment. The crews benefit from the Navtech software by having an intuitive interface and bidding awarding logic that includes a detailed audit report, both of which make for a transparent and trusted experience.
