Per the MEC System Scheduling Committee monthly newsletter, there are PBS trainers available via telephone to discuss bidding strategies every month when the bidding window is open. I've had a couple of phone discussions with them and they were helpful both times.

From the MEC SSC monthly newsletter:

PBS Resources

Untitled Document and 231-UGOT-PBS are staffed monthly during the bid and award windows from the 7th-12th and 18th-23rd. Please USE YOUR HELP RESOURCES!!! Too often we have pilots fail to seek assistance from the resources available and their awards suffer as a result. Do not let this happen to you! We are here to support your needs and answer any bidding questions you may have. Please do not allow the bid window to close without seeking answers
for any bidding questions.

Untitled Document Official PBS website offering data filled forums and live staffed expert
instructors during the bidding and award windows via live chat.

231-UGOTPBS: Official PBS help line staffed live with expert instructors during the bidding
and award windows.

[email protected]: PBS committee email address for general non-specific questions related to
PBS and PC/PT bidding. Please direct specific bid or award inquiries to
Untitled Document or 231-UGOTPBS as an initial step.
