Part 121 · Reserve, open-time & MEL

Reserve crew

Track reserve crew as LONG_CALL and SHORT_CALL with callout and no-contact handling, so the desk knows who's available and who's been used. Reserve coverage lives in the same system as the lines it backs up. It replaces the reserve list kept on a separate sheet.

Launching the first quarter of 2027.

What reserve crew gives you

  • Reserve tracked as LONG_CALL and SHORT_CALL
  • Callout and no-contact handling
  • Reserve coverage in the same system as the lines it backs up

How an operator uses this

Reserve crew tracks as LONG_CALL and SHORT_CALL with callout and no-contact handling, so the desk knows who's available and who's been used, with reserve coverage living in the same system as the lines it backs up. On the open-time board, pilots request drops, pickups, and swaps and a planner approves — a trade that creates no duty/rest violation can auto-approve so the desk isn't a bottleneck on clean trades, and every trade still runs the legality check. MEL deferrals track by category A/B/C/D with an auto-rolling expiry, and an expired deferral raises a dispatch banner so the aircraft doesn't fly on a busted item.

Illustrative — every screen reflects what's in your own data, nothing more.
