“Seniority Progression” shows list numbers gained and your projected percentile, quarter by quarter, through retirement. The “At Retirement” tile shows where you’ll be on your last day.

The “AA Retirements” chart shows the mandatory age-65 retirements for every year, with your own retirement year marked.

The “Can Hold” count at the top tells you how many you can hold, and every base and fleet is listed below it.

More than just the base position, “Holdable now” breaks it down into your exact percentage today as a lineholder, long call and short call reserve for every bid status, based on the latest awards.

Tap the seat and look at “Seniority Gap.” It shows how many list numbers separate you from the most junior pilot in that seat.

Open the seat and scroll to “Retirements Senior to You.” It counts them at 1, 2, 5 and 10 years out.

Every bid status is ranked from easiest to hardest to hold, based on the most junior pilot in it. There’s a tab each for System, First Officer, Captain, NB FO, NB CA, WB FO and WB CA.

Yes. Tap “? How to use” at the top of the page. It walks through getting started, building your bid list, Predictive Mode, Double Ups, the filters worth knowing, and how to read the columns.

Turn on “Predictive Mode.” Under “PBS Override,” enter My Position and total bidders (not lineholders) from this month’s bid package. Trips are colored by how likely you are to hold them. Tap the ⓘ next to a sequence number to see where trips like it have gone in past months.

Tap the ★ on a trip to add it. In “Sequences” view that adds every date it flies; in “By Date” view, just that date. Open “★ Bid List” at the top to arrange them across the 7 PBS layers.

Follow the steps under “Entering your bid list,” then click “Send to PBS.” The extension runs in Chrome on a Mac or PC. It won’t run on an iPad or phone.

To keep a copy to work from and enter by hand, “Export for PBS” in the Bid List downloads it as a text file.

Open “★ Bid List” and tap “Copy transfer code” on your iPad or iPhone, then use “Paste transfer code” on the computer. The Bid List is saved in the browser it was built in, not on your account.

The “Days off” chip hides trips that touch the days you tap. For vacation, training or a carry-in, add it under “Preplanned absences” on the Bid Calendar. That credit counts in every layer’s TL, and trips that run into those days are flagged.

Open “☰ Filters.”

Tap “⤓ CSV” in the toolbar and choose “One row per sequence” or “One row per date.” The file holds the trips your current filters are showing.

“Top Layover Cities” shows the gainers, the losers and the cities that are new since last month. You can pick any bid status from the dropdown at the top.

The Line Check is a monthly briefing on your own bid status, ready once the awards post. “Your Position This Month” shows where you landed among the bidders, and “Your Reach — Trip-Type Cutoffs” shows which trip types went junior to you. “Load Factor” gives the outlook for premium, makeup and overtime pay and for dropping trips. “Staffing & Open Time Outlook” and “Reserve Watch” cover staffing and reserves.

“Your Position This Month” shows your line number among bidders and how many lines you were from holding one. For 3-days, 2-days, turns and the other trip types, “Your Reach — Trip-Type Cutoffs” shows where you fell against each one.

Turn on “Actual Awards” once the awards post. Every trip is colored by whether it was held junior or senior to you, and the top of the page tells you how many of the biddable trips you could have held.

“Reserve Watch” shows the coverage-day cutoff, along with total reserves, voluntary reserve, and coverage days from senior to junior.

Tap the seat and find “Reserve Above Coverage” under “Reserve analysis.” It shows how senior a reserve pilot typically had to be to stay free of forced coverage days over the last 14 months. Tap the card for the detail.

Pick the seat, then scroll to “Trip Tiers.” Every trip type is listed with its cutoff, and tapping a row shows the cutoff month by month.

In “Trip Tiers,” the trips that typically go in the top 10% of the bid status are listed under Concierge, followed by Platinum, Gold, Economy and Basic (75–100%).

Start with “Step 01 — Current Position” for your last 8 months. In “Step 02 — Goals,” “Scan All Combos” lists every off-month window that works, or pick the months yourself. In Step 03, “vs. 90-Hr Baseline” compares the plan’s pay with flying 90 hours every month.

Intelligence is the monthly newsletter. Each issue covers the seniority list, retirements, new-hire classes, the awards and the bidpack.

Tap the seat and scroll to “Reserve analysis.” The “Average Junior Lineholder,” “Reserve Above Coverage” and “Average Long Call Reserve” cards each give a projected hold date.

Scroll down to “Career Horizon” and pick a seat (NB FO, NB CA, WB FO or WB CA). Every base and fleet is on one timeline, colored by fleet. The hatched bar starts when you could hold reserve, and the solid bar when you could hold a line. “LC” switches the hatched bar to long call, and 5 yr, 10 yr or Career sets how far out it looks.

“Next Milestones” covers NB Captain, WB First Officer and WB Captain. Tap any seat for its projected date and how recent vacancy runs went.

Choose up to six under “Add bid statuses.” “Seniority projection” charts your percentage in each one for 20 years, and “Milestones” lists when you’d hold each.

Look at the “What This Vacancy Means for You” tile.

On the “Position Cutoffs” tab, “Junior Cutoff by Position” shows how junior each one went, with your number marked. For the full breakdown, open the Vacancy Analysis card at the top.

Yes. Each vacancy award gets a full write-up, covering the biggest category movers, the upgrade pipeline, where the new first officers landed, seniority trends, widebody captain withholds and equipment transitions. It’s also linked from the top of the Vacancy Awards page.

Build Path A and Path B, then hit “Calculate.” “The Bottom Line” shows which path earns more over your career. Tax modeling is optional.

Tap a base and fleet for its trip lengths, layover cities, redeyes and commutability. “Compare with” puts two side by side.
