Mock Bidding Details for Double Up by Range

To provide additional testing for this property and a chance to familiarize yourself, a mock bid opened on January 15 for Lineholder Flight Attendants to bid and receive a mock award. Mock bidding will close on Monday, January 19 at 12 PM (CT).

While any Flight Attendant may enter a bid in the mock run, only Flight Attendants with a Lineholder status on their PBS dashboard will receive a mock award.

If you bid Lineholder in the live PBS run, this bid will NOT be imported into the mock system. You will be able to import your standing bid or start from scratch.

We encourage you to take this opportunity to play with the system and try out this new property or other strategies for Lineholder PBS bidding.

This is one of the rare opportunities to put in a bid and not worry about flying the resulting line.

The mock PBS system is accessible at: http://fapbs-apfa.aa.com/aospbs2.

PBS Lineholder Mock Bidding Timelines

A special Mock Bid Support Tab option will allow you to submit questions or potential misawards from the mock run. If you need to submit a support ticket, please go to Crew Portal > Links > SupportTab > Select PBS as the system > Form type LH Mock. These will be reviewed by the company’s PBS team and shared with APFA so we can identify any potential defects before this property goes live. Upon successful testing, we will share further information on when this property will be included in the live PBS runs.
