        AFA Update – December 6, 2019

        December 6, 2019 12:00

        In This Edition

        • PBS Software Update

        PBS Software Update

        Scheduling Committee—PBS Subcommittee

        A PBS update occurred on Nov 25th that likely makes it necessary to clear your browser’s cache. This is especially important if using the ‘new’ version of Navblue (the one they refer to as ‘WebApp’). If you get an error message when trying to log in or certain tabs aren’t working as they should then this is a sign that you must clear your cache.  You should be seeing version 19.4 on both the old and the new PBS website.

        On the Inflight website, there is an ‘Alert’ posted at ‘Schedule and Bidding’ with a link to instructions for clearing your cache.  Instructions are provided for Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer and Firefox.  These are the only supported browsers when accessing NavbluePBS. On the PBS Info Page you’ll see a list of supported devices and browsers.

        This latest update brings a huge improvement in log in time.  In addition, with some bid preferences there is less ‘clicking’ needed and the ‘Start Bid Group’ button (used to begin a new bid group) has now moved to the right side of the page.  The order of some bid preference sub-menus is more logical and there were some minor bug fixes in this latest update.

        No changes occurred on the ‘old’ version of Navblue.. Both the old and new websites are ‘live’ and whatever is ‘submitted’ on one will then reflect on the other. The old PBS website still works perfectly fine for bidding but is lacking all of the advanced features of the new website. No further changes are planned for the ‘old’ PBS website unless absolutely necessary.  Navblue is urging all airline customers transition to the ‘new’ website. When a decision is made on a firm cutover date we’ll communicate that to everyone.
