So I admit I have been really worried about the coming change in PBS because when I look at the awarded lines on the EWR-756 fleet and seat I see a lot of high time lines with many trips back to back, but now that I have had a chance to read through the manual I must say my first impression is highly favorable. I feel the the Jeppesen PBS is far more powerful. For example in the Kronos system I could never tell PBS that I only wanted to work 4 three day trips and limit my line to 12 days and at the same time leave open the possibility of a 4 day trip that head a deadhead. With Jeppesen I can create a bid group that has those characteristics and if it isn't awarded my sub-groups will revert to the 12 day groups.


I think it may be a tough language to learn, but in the end it should be better. I guess we'll see . . .

Any other UAL types take a look at the videos and manuals yet?
