In the APA agreement they have a TTS (trip tade system) It will act as an agent to complete different types of trades. Multiple pilot trades, conditional trades, pickup trade or drop with other pilots or open time. Honoring seniority in turn. Pilots will be able to excute manual trades. Have a preference ballot containing preferences for trip trades, drops and pick ups, updateable at any time. Communication via email/txt/phone.
It sounds like SAP and the bid sheet kinda rolled up into one. But of course the company will be involved. So who knows.

Reason?
If only we we as smart as the Rustheads we'd realize we should never change the way they did things.

The projected PBS program will contain an Interactive Schedule Adjustment Process (ISAP) program, which will be similar to SAP, but more like SAP on steroids.
The ISAP program will use the "new upgraded SAP" processing platform changed in March 2012. ISAP will have more capabilities and functions than SAP and will permit pilots and F/A's to make adjustments to their monthly schedule on a daily basis once ISAPA opens and continuing throughout the month - unlike SAP, which runs only once per month.
ISAP will probably process at 2100 each night.
In addition, within PBS there will be an automated Trip Trade System (TTS) implemented that will be seniority based, allow multiple trip trades, conditional, pick up, trade, or drops with open time to other pilots; as well as manual trades. And, there will be an AIL and ETB function too.
The MOU requires a PBS Memorandum that the NAC and Company are currently negotiating that will determine the exact bid window and all PBS, ISAP, TTS, and ETB parameters.
Separately, East F/A's will separate from the pilots with their own pairings beginning January 1, 2014.

Is this the PBS the AA pilots have now? If the merger does not happen would there be a different vendor for USAirways? The way you describe it makes it look pretty good.

I'm not sure, but I thought AA does not use PBS yet. The system US Airways' pilots (and the AA pilot group if the proposed corporate combination proceeds) is the system designed by Chip Mayer and the one that will be used by US Airways' F/A's. I have been told USAPA, APA, and US Airways's management are currently negotiating final MOU PBS implementation language with USAPA's proposal favorably viewed by management with part of the process selecting one of three possible vendors.
