Most ops platforms bolt cabin crew onto pilot tools as an afterthought. We built flight attendants in as first-class operators with their own 14 CFR 121.467 duty rules, 14 CFR 121.421 training tracking, per-aircraft emergency-equipment qualifications, dedicated bidding workflow, reserve management, and mobile app.
Credentials & currency
Qualifications & recurrent (121.421)
Reserve & open-time
Separate from FAR 117 (pilots). 14h scheduled FDP cap, 10h minimum rest (non-reducible), 24 consecutive hours off in any 7 days. Enforced at booking time.
Initial before first duty, annual recurrent. Per-aircraft-type records. Auto-rolling next-due dates. Flagged when approaching cycle.
Door operation, slide deployment, raft procedures, water survival — by aircraft type. Scheduler refuses unqualified assignment.
Separate bid packages from pilots, same LINE / PBS infrastructure. Trip trades + reserves + open-time pickup all parallel.
Same workflow as pilots — KSSS scale, prior-sleep + hours-awake, anonymous SMS HAZARD on high-risk reports.
Same Expo-built employee app pilots use. Roster, swap requests, currency, manuals — on iOS + Android.
Different rules, different caps, different enforcement. The platform tracks both independently and surfaces each crew member's status in the duty board.
| Rule area | FAR 117 (pilots) | FAR 121.467 (flight attendants) |
|---|---|---|
| Max FDP (scheduled) | 9-14h (Table B by report time) | 14h scheduled |
| Min rest after duty | 10h before next FDP | 10h (non-reducible) |
| Weekly off-duty | 30 consecutive hours in 168h | 24 consecutive hours in 7 days |
| Max flight time (24h) | 8h | Not capped (separate rules) |
| Max flight time (28-day) | 100h | Not capped (separate rules) |
| Recurrent training cycle | Per training-program rules | Annual under FAR 121.421 |
Yes — FA duty + rest is governed by 14 CFR 121.467 (separate from the FAR 117 rules that apply to pilots). Caps differ: 14h scheduled FDP, a 10-hour minimum rest period that can't be reduced below 10 hours, 24 consecutive hours off in any 7 consecutive days. The scheduler enforces these alongside pilot caps, so a flight with under-rested crew can't be booked.
14 CFR 121.421 requires initial training before duty + annual recurrent. Each FA has a training record per aircraft type they're qualified on. Initial covers emergency equipment, evacuation procedures, FAA-mandated topics; annual covers updates. Records auto-roll the next-due date; the platform flags FAs approaching their cycle.
FAs are qualified per aircraft type — they can't work a 737 if they're only qualified on E190. Each type has its own emergency-equipment qualification (door operation, slide deployment, raft procedures, water survival). The scheduler refuses to assign an unqualified FA to a flight.
Yes for Part 121 operators. FA bidding runs parallel to pilot bidding — separate bid packages, separate award cycle, but the same LINE / PBS infrastructure. FA reserves + trip trades work the same way pilots' do, with their own rule catalog.
Yes — the same Expo-built employee app pilots use. Login with their crew credentials; see their roster, swap requests, fatigue-report button, currency status, manuals library.
Pilot + FA credentials track language qualifications. Trip sheets can surface language proficiency per FA so international flights don't dispatch without the required language coverage. Manifest export for customs includes FA language coverage.
