PBS bidding opened today, Sunday, March 14 at 1200 (CDT) for April 2021 bidding.

Bidding will close on Thursday, March 18th at 1200 (CDT).

Please remember to check your status prior to bidding in PBS. Your information can be found on the PBS Dashboard.

Also, please review if all the information on your Dashboard is correct including your aircraft qualifications, existing credit, training month and any other special qualifications you may have.

If the information is incorrect, please contact the base planners at [email protected], as soon as possible.

For bidding Reserve off days, you start by clicking on the Reserve Tab on the navigation bar. The large calendar on the left side will show the number of Reserves which are needed each day according to planning’s calculation. If you accidentally bid for Reserve days off while under any other tab, your Reserve days off bid will not be processed.
