Crew scheduling is a complicated and remarkably time-consuming task.

With the daunting task of managing conflicting and competing requirements - crewmember quality of life, company rules and union regulations, operational cost constraints - airlines choose Altitude PBS.

A comprehensive system, Altitude PBS (Preferential Bidding System) automates and optimizes the scheduling process by creating optimal monthly schedules for cockpit and cabin crews. A pioneer in the development of preferential bidding solutions, Altitude's basic goal is to balance the needs of the airline with those of crewmembers and planners.

Global Impact

Crewmember Quality of Life
Crewmember satisfaction is a top priority. Whether operating in strict seniority or fair equity, maximizing crewmember satisfaction is at the core of Altitude PBS. With a user-friendly interface remotely accessible, simplified bidding methods, a personal calendar and a bid analyzer, crewmembers gain from an increased quality for life.

Planners become planners again
By completely automating the scheduling process, planners can concentrate on planning strategies, generating alternative solutions, planning for the future (more than one month in advance) and looking at future impacts. Time is not wasted on low quality solutions that require manual intervention. And with a more content crew and a less stressful environment, Altitude PBS allows planners to become planners again.

A More Efficient Airline
By facilitating a streamlined scheduling and planning process, airlines benefit from an optimal solution that delivers planners and not firefighters; satisfied and motivated crewmembers - an invaluable competitive advantage. With a remarkably quick ROI, Altitude PBS not only pays for itself; it continues to generate savings through process efficiencies.
