The problem with the PBS is that the Jepp package could have been purchased with its own built in PBS from day one but the powers that be are creating their own interface so that they can keep rocade. This interface is being created by volunteers and part time programmers so I wouldn't hold out hope that the PBS is going to be some sort of miracle solution. Having previously worked at an airline with the Optimiser and the JEPP PBS it was fantastic, however there is no way in hell that Jetstar is going to allow the full flexibility like roster swaps online and a true open time where you can put unwanted trips to be picked up by whoever wants them. I have been told by managers that they don't feel 'comfortable' giving the pilot group that sort of control which is why we are creating our own system.
