About PBS Vectors

Comprehensive Consultations

PBS Vectors is the industry leader in consultation of American Airlines pilot schedules. The complex operational dynamics of your monthly schedule demands an individualized comprehensive approach to building and executing your flying obligations. At PBS Vectors we employ a nonconventional approach to building PBS bids by focusing on targeted trip distribution along with a methodical cascading sequence accumulation. Using historical data from APA along with block hour distribution reports from American Airlines, we craft a bid that gives each pilot the highest bidding performance possible within their four-part bid status.

Time Constraints

To maintain the airline flying operational integrity, the pilots of American Airlines are governed by a stringent monthly scheduling timeline. At PBS Vectors we comprehend the airline scheduling needs but most importantly we recognize the personal requirements from the viewpoint of the pilot. We know how valuable the resource of time is for a professional pilot which is the core reason behind all of our one-on-one consultation services. You will never have to jeopardize your free time or DFPs by calling a help desk and being placed on hold therefore wasting countless hours. PBS Vectors dedicated time slots will ensure you spend more time doing what’s important to you, cherishing the time with your friends and family.

What can PBS Vectors do to improve my monthly schedule?
With our proven formula of focusing on two core principles of bidding patterns, PBS Vectors will work side by side with you to create a bid that focuses on the 5/10 pattern split for targeted trip distribution along with an aggressive seniority adjusted cascading trip accumulation rate. This proven and perfected strategy provides every client of PBS Vectors a bidding advantage that will achieve a much higher award satisfaction versus any other consulting services or help desk.
At PBS Vectors we understand the struggles that a new hire pilot faces in their first year of service at American Airlines. Our PBS Monthly bidding consultations always begins by asking the most important question first: What is the top objective for the family in the contractual month? We then explore all possibilities commensurate to your four-part bid status seniority. The result will be a schedule that yields a much higher quality of work life versus any other options available to the line pilot. This will provide you the absolute best balance of work/family life obligations.
We offer a wide arrange of products and one of our most powerful tools is operating at the PHD application level of CBA 2023. This strategic advantage is something our competitors or a help desk simply cannot offer the line pilot. Our team can provide a tailored Retirement Glideslope consultation that will address all of your goals and objectives but most importantly, lay out the realistic foundation for you to obtain your desired outcome.
IMAX has a common misconception that it requires the pilot of American Airlines to fly 100 or more hours a month. It also has other misunderstandings that it requires a pilot to be senior or to live in base. A PBS Vectors Managed IMAX plan is tailored to the individual pilot and will never require a pilot to fly at or near FAR limits. Since each plan is individually crafted to the unique circumstances and objectives of the pilot, our Managed IMAX plans only require you to be a lineholder in the core months of your IMAX year. Additionally, IMAX never requires you to live in base. In fact, PBS Vectors currently has IMAX clients living outside the United States who complete international commutes to their domicile. A PBS Vectors Managed IMAX plan will put to rest all the myths and folktales of becoming a successful IMAX pilot.
At PBS Vectors, our dedicated team recognizes the challenges associated with a transfer to a new domicile or accepting that coveted upgrade to Captain or a Group 4 aircraft. One of the first challenge faced by every pilot is learning new bidding behaviors or patterns associated with your new four-part bid status. As the top consulting firm for pilots of American Airlines, PBS Vectors will navigate those new challenges on your behalf and will ensure your PBS bids follow our two proven and disciplined core bidding strategies. Our team’s extensive knowledge of pilot bidding behavior of your new four-part bid status will give you an operational advantage that our consulting competitors or a help desk simply cannot replicate.
