MinLine reads your monthly bid package and builds ranked PBS bid groups engineered so that whatever the system awards, you still hit your credit minimum — in the fewest days away from home.
Three steps, once a month, in the bidding window.
Drop in the monthly PDF. MinLine parses every pairing — legs, layovers, credit, pay, report and release times — in seconds.
Days off, minimum credit, cities to avoid, commute times, when your kids go to bed. Your permanent preferences carry month to month.
Get ranked bid groups whose fallback clusters are engineered so any award still reaches your monthly minimum. Copy them straight into PBS.
Not just legal lines — good months.
Every bid group's fallback trips are chosen so the worst-case award still clears your credit target. No more hand-checking twenty combinations.
The optimizer finds the minimum number of duty days that hits your number — and shows what one extra day would buy you before you give it away.
Every trip is scored on pay per hour away from home — where a morning with your family before a late report counts, and being home before bedtime counts double.
Output in the compact line notation pilots already use — pairing, legs per day, credit, report/release, layovers — ready to paste anywhere.
Built by a line pilot and an engineer, tested on real bid months.
