INTERACTIVE PLANNING AID · EARLY ACCESS

Your next bid,
thoughtfully planned.

Build an ideal month, protect the days that matter, and map a layered strategy. No PBS credentials required.

Planning tool, not an automatic PBS builder.
This preview organizes preferences and performs arithmetic checks. It does not connect to AA PBS, submit bids, predict awards, or verify bidding legality. Verify every bid against the current PBS guide and your bidding interface.

Review before applying

These values are unverified suggestions. Correct anything that looks wrong. The planner calendar will start blank if you're switching bid months.

Target ALV, maximum LCW, seniority, existing credit, dates and base are reference information. They do not replace your personal preferred maximum, pairing strategy, or protected days. You control those settings below.
