Questions pilots ask about AeroSlate.
Straight answers. no jargon, no fine-print games. If something's not here, ask us.
How do I analyze my bid pack?+
Upload the monthly bid-pack PDF you already get from crew scheduling. AeroSlate reads every pairing (credit, block, TAFB, legs, layovers, redeyes) and builds a ranked, filterable list in seconds.
Do I need to set everything up before I upload?+
No. Only your base and fleet are needed for an accurate parse. Constraints, preferences, and your availability calendar are applied at read time, so you can set or change them anytime without re-uploading.
What is a pairing score?+
A pairing score is an estimate of how well a trip fits you, on a 0–100 scale across five dimensions: pay efficiency, lifestyle, commute, fatigue, and IRROPS upside. You pick a strategy that weights those dimensions, and your own preferences refine the ranking.
Can I export to PBS?+
Yes. Favorite the trips you want and export your bid list in a PBS-style order, or as CSV or plain text.
Will I be charged during the free trial?+
No. Your card is collected up front, but there is no charge for the first 7 days. Billing starts on day 8 unless you cancel before then.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes. Cancel from your account at any time. If you cancel during the trial you are never charged.
What happens to my data if I stop?+
Your parsed bid packs and settings stay in your account. Raw PDFs are already deleted after parsing by default. You can delete your data anytime from account settings.
Is my data private?+
Your raw bid-pack PDF is deleted after parsing by default. You can choose to keep it or set a retention window in your account settings.
Does AeroSlate guarantee I will be awarded a trip?+
No. AeroSlate estimates and ranks trips to help you bid deliberately. It does not predict or guarantee award outcomes, pay, or seniority results, and it is not affiliated with any airline. Always follow your company, FAR, and PWA/CBA guidance.
