PBS
The Preferential Bidding System (PBS) is a computer optimization software that uses pilot
input to build monthly schedules. Pilots can use up to 20 bid groups that each define a specific
set of trips and line characteristics. Reserve bid groups can also be used to define reserve line
characteristics.

Vacancy Bidding Overview
Vacancies in Captain and First Officer Categories shall exist when there is a need for
additional positions for an anticipated period of sixty (60) days or more. Vacancies shall be
advertised at all Bases as far in advance as possible, but not later than thirty (30) days after
such vacancy exists. A pilot desiring a change in Category may submit a bid for any
Categories that he desires in preference order, which may remain on file indefinitely as a
“standing vacancy bid” at the Pilot’s request. His standing vacancy bid shall be the pilot's
official bid and may be revised at any time before the bid is closed. Also, standing vacancy
bids shall be cancelled upon request or upon the award of a vacancy as a result of a bid.
The Vacancy Bidding process will allow the pilot to input and maintain standing bids for
Vacancy Bid awards.
When the new Vacancy Bid Bulletin is posted, the pilot will see the new Vacancy Bid name,
Posting date, Closing date, Awarding date, and the Effective date. Then, the pilot may enter
bids.
After all bid choices are selected, click the Save button to save the information. Bid choices
can be changed until the bid period is closed. After the bid is saved a confirmation screen will
display. This page can be printed for record keeping. After the Award date, the Vacancy Bid
Award will be processed and an award notification will be sent only to the pilots who received
an award different from their current category.
A Vacancy Bulletin is posted on the Flying Together staffing page. It shows the Minimum (MIN)
number of pilots which would be awarded in a category. The Maximum (MAX) is a forecast of
the upper bound for each category.
You can find this information on Flying Together. Go to Flight Ops Home > Scheduling > Pilot
Scheduling.

Vacancy Guidance/Comment
Maximum # of pilots

award
The Bid Percentage represents your desired seniority position in a category. It is applied at the
time of the award.
The final number of pilots within this range considers vacancies, pilots bidding out and possible
secondary assignments occurring in the final award. The Bid Percentage is applied to awarded
final number of pilots staffed to this category.
For example, let’s assume LAX737CAP’s has a staffing MIN of 96 and a MAX of 102. The final
award has 100 active pilots. An award of a 50% bid would mean your seniority is in the top 50
pilots of the category. This % is a point in time, at the time of the award. Changes in staffing at
a category can occur due to new vacancies, displacements, and other types of assignments.
Details about the Vacancy system are available in the UPA under Section 8-C. The processes
above were further defined by the ALPA/United Joint Implementation Team.

3
When the Vacancy Bid opens and is available, the following pilot information will
display: Employee’s ID, Name, date the bid choices were Last Saved On, Staffed
Position, Starting Position (as most recently awarded), and Seniority.
There is a relative seniority display from the previous award for reference. It is
important to note the disclaimers associated with this tool.
Note: This is for information purposes only.
1. It shows your relative seniority in each Category had you held that
Category on the previous award.
2. This grid does not in any way reflect the possible results of the current
Vacancy Bid offering.
4
To begin the bidding process, select options from the Category drop-down list.
Next, enter the seniority percentage you would like to hold.
Note: A Pilot may use percentage bidding, selectable on a single-percentagepoint basis, to bid a relative position within a Category. This percentage shall be
applied at the time the Pilot’s bid is processed, and shall be calculated based
upon the Pilot’s relative position (if given the award) compared to the final number
of position.

Displacement Bidding Overview
Displacements in Captain and First Officer Categories shall exist when there is a need to
reduce positions. The following applies to displacements concerning a category closure.
Additional information will be provided for partial displacements when needed.
The displacement bidding process is very similar to Vacancy Bidding. However, only bids
submitted for the displaced category will be effective. There is no reason for pilots in other
categories to submit bids. Other than the affected category, no pilot can be displaced from
his/her category by virtue of a displacement award.
A displaced pilot will submit a bid for categories desired in preference order. Displacement bids
will be cancelled after the award of the Displacement. When a new Displacement Bid Bulletin
is posted, the pilot will see the Displacement Bid name, the Base affected, Posting, Closing
and Awarding dates, and the Bid Effective date. Then, the pilot may enter bids. Following the
posting of the displacement bulletin, a pilot may input their preferences in CCS via the
displacement bid procedure. This procedure is outlined below.
After all bid choices are selected, click the Save button to submit your preferences. Bid choices
can be changed until the bid period is closed. After the bid is saved a confirmation screen will
be displayed. We recommend printing a copy for your records. After the Award date, the
Displacement Bid Award will be processed and an award notification will be sent.
A Displacement Bulletin is posted on the Flying Together Staffing page. It shows the Minimum
(MIN) number of pilots which would be awarded in a category. The Maximum (MAX) is a
forecast of the upper boundary for each category.
This, too is similar to the Vacancy Bid process; however, the affected Base’s posting will
indicate the positions to be reduced given the number of active pilots at the time of posting.
Providing one’s seniority can hold entry into a category, a displaced pilot is eligible for an
award regardless of the posted MIN or MAX. The MIN and MAX are shown for future reference
only.
You can find this information on Flying Together. Navigate to Flying Together > Flight
Operations >Staffing.
18
The Bid Percentage represents your desired seniority position in a category. It is applied at the
time of the award.
The Bid Percentage is applied to the awarded final number of pilots staffed to this category.
For example, let’s assume we are displacing SEA777 F/O’s; LAX737CAP’s has a staffing MIN
of 96 and a MAX of 102. The final award has 104 active pilots. An award of a 50% bid would
mean your seniority is in the top 52 pilots of the category. This % is a point in time, at the time
of the award.
Details about the Displacement system are available in UPA Section 8-E. The processes
above were further defined by the ALPA/United Joint Implementation Team.
If you are named in the displacement you will need to bid something at 100% that your
seniority can hold in the Jr. Man report.
There is also a Jr. Man report indicating the junior-most assigned pilot to that category to assist
in your evaluation.
