The PBS Old UI will no longer be available as of September 1, 2023.

Make the switch to the Web App (New UI) BEFORE September 1st.

Last year, our PBS vendor advised us that the Old User Interface (UI) for PBS would no longer be updated and that they could no longer support the application going forward. As such, the Old UI will expire on September 1, 2023. Stating September 1st, the New Interface (UI), or Web App, will be the only UI available for bidding.

The Web App (New UI) was introduced over five years ago. If you have not yet used the new user interface, please familiarize yourself with the Web App. You can find more information on using the Web App on both the Aeronet portal as well as via accomponent.ca under Resources > PBS Bidder’s Guide & Bulletin Updates.

Please note that there is no requirement to redo your bid. Your bids, including your default and training bids, have always been available in both the Old and New UIs. However, please ensure that you have switched to using the Web App prior to September 1.

Beginning this month, Default (and Training) bidding will remain open even after the bid period has closed. This will allow crew members who want to work on their Default (or Training) bid for the following block month more time to do so.

What this means is that after bid close you may still submit your Default and Training Bids but they will only be used for the next bid period. Your Current bid will not be submitted.

Be mindful of the time! Bids are only considered submitted and accepted by PBS when they arrive at the PBS servers. There may also be a slight difference between the time displayed on your device and the time used by PBS. The difference can be a few minutes, however if submitting your bid is done at the last minute it may make a difference.

When submitting your bids you will see:
