Your scoring engine

Tune once, rank thousands of trips in a second.

Move sliders for the things you actually care about — trip length, pay efficiency, check-in time, layovers, days off — and the entire bid package re-ranks in real time against your preferences. It's the foundation everything else builds on.

  • A dozen configurable scoring panels
  • Save unlimited preference presets
  • See why each trip scored the way it did
Seniority predictions

Know your real odds on every trip — before you bid.

Every trip carries a seniority-based prediction of how likely it is to clear. Enter your seniority once and the whole list color-codes to your odds — green for the trips you can likely hold, red for the long shots — so you spend your top picks where they'll actually stick.

Select and reorder

Build your bid list the way you actually think about it.

Star the trips you want. Drag to reorder. Your bid list stays in sync everywhere you look — the card, the glance list, the printout — and survives reloads.

  • Drag-and-drop bid ordering
  • Live running list of every trip you've picked
  • Every change saves automatically
Optimize Order

Maximize the value of your bid by letting us optimize the trip order.

Ordering a bid by hand is guesswork. The Optimizer runs thousands of simulations of how your bid could actually play out and reorders your list to minimize what you're likely to lose — protecting your best trips without you hand-tuning the sequence.

  • Monte-Carlo simulation of likely award outcomes
  • Move markers show exactly what changed and why
  • One tap to optimize — revert anytime
Multiple Bids

Build A, B, C, and D bids — your fallbacks, ready to file.

PBS lets you stack fallback bids so you're covered when your first choice doesn't clear. BidAsFiled lets you build all of them side by side, assign any trip to one or more bids, and print them in order so you key them straight into PBS.

  • Assign a trip to one or more bids (A through D)
  • Always see which bid you're viewing and editing
  • Prints every bid in order, ready to transcribe
PBS Emulator

See how PBS would award your line — before you file it.

The Emulator walks your bid the way PBS does: it checks legality between every trip, enforces the rolling rest and credit rules, and fills your line to the credit window. Catch the conflicts that would quietly skip your trips — while you can still fix them.

  • Checks legality between every pair of trips, the way PBS does
  • Enforces the rolling rest and credit rules, not just trip-by-trip
  • Fills your line to the credit window so you see the real result

Time conflicts: overlapping trips or too little rest between them, flagged before PBS silently skips them.

30 in 7: spots when a packed week leaves no legal 30-hour rest in any rolling 7 days.

100 in 28: watches your rolling 28-day block against the 100-hour cap.

Awarded: fills your line to the credit window and shows what you'd actually hold.

Estimates for planning — a simulation, not the official NavBLUE PBS result. Always verify against official PBS rules and your contract. You are responsible for your own bid.

FAQ

Answers before you sign up.

The questions that come up most often. If yours isn't here, email support@bidasfiled.com.

Is BidAsFiled affiliated with Delta, NavBLUE, or ALPA?

No. BidAsFiled is an independent product operated by RAINIER CAPITAL LLC. We are not sponsored by, endorsed by, or affiliated with Delta Air Lines, NavBLUE, the Air Line Pilots Association, or any airline, union, or employer. You are solely responsible for the bid you submit.

Does the PBS Emulator guarantee my award?

No. The Emulator simulates how PBS would walk your bid — pairwise legality, the rolling rest and credit rules, and filling to the credit window — but it's an estimate for planning, not the official NavBLUE PBS result. Seniority, last-minute schedule changes, and rule nuances can move the outcome. Always verify against official PBS and your contract before you file; you're responsible for your own bid.

Do I have to share my bid package or login with you?

No. You never give us your Delta credentials, your NavBLUE login, or any union credentials. The bid package data is fetched on our side each month and made available to you in the app — you just sign in with Google or a magic-link email and start scoring.

What happens at the end of the month when a new bid package drops?

Your subscription rolls seamlessly into the next month's package. Saved scoring presets carry over, your last-active preset is remembered per base and fleet, and you can start ranking the new pairings immediately. No re-setup required.

What happens if I cancel during the free trial?

You won't be charged anything. Cancel any time in the first 30 days from your account page and that's the end of it — no card charge, no partial month.

Do you offer refunds after the trial?

We don't prorate or refund partial months as a default policy, but if something goes wrong — the app breaks on your browser, you got charged after you meant to cancel, whatever — email support and we'll sort it out.

Can I sign in without a Google account?

Yes. In addition to Google sign-in, you can request a one-time magic-link email to any address (yahoo, outlook, a personal domain, whatever you use). Click the link, you're signed in. No password to remember.

I have a question that isn't here.

Email support@bidasfiled.com and I'll personally get back to you. This is a one-pilot shop — real replies, not a ticketing system.
