Part 121 · Network-aware scheduling
Weighted efficiency score
The board rolls the soft factors — deadhead legs, out-of-base overnights, aircraft repositioning, and maintenance-fit slack — into a single weighted score, shown as abstract points where lower is better. The weights are configurable per center, so the operation decides what to optimize; the score is a planning signal, not a dollar figure. It replaces comparing pairing constructions by gut feel.
Launching the first quarter of 2027.

Who it's for
Crew planners at a Part 121 operation who, once this ships, want the soft factors rolled into one weighted planning signal they can tune, rather than comparing pairing constructions by gut feel.
What it replaces
Comparing pairing constructions by gut feel.
What weighted efficiency score gives you
- In development — will roll soft factors into one weighted score
- Abstract points, lower is better; weights configurable per center
- A planning signal, not a dollar figure
Soft factors rolled into one weighted score
This capability is in development. Once it ships, the board will roll the soft factors — deadhead legs, out-of-base overnights, aircraft repositioning, and maintenance-fit slack — into a single weighted score, shown as abstract points where lower is better. It is not yet in production; today, pairing constructions are still compared by hand.
- In development — will roll soft factors into one weighted score
- Abstract points, lower is better; weights configurable per center
A planning signal you would tune per center
As planned, the weights will be configurable per center, so the operation decides what to weigh, and the score will be a planning signal rather than a dollar figure. It is in development and not yet in production — the score would give the desk a single tunable number to plan against.

How it works
Weighted efficiency score, step by step
Planned: deadhead, overnights, repositioning, and maintenance-fit slack will roll into one weighted score.
Planned: the score will be shown as abstract points where lower is better.
Planned: the weights will be configurable per center, so the operation decides what to weigh.
Planned: the score will be a planning signal, not a dollar figure.
Questions
Weighted efficiency score — frequently asked
Is the weighted efficiency score a cost figure?
No. It is planned to be abstract points where lower is better — a planning signal, not a dollar figure. This capability is in development.
Will I be able to set my own weights?
That's the plan — the weights are designed to be configurable per center so the operation decides what to weigh. The weighted efficiency score is in development, not yet in production.

Deep diveManager & compliance
Fleet, recurrency, FAR 117 oversight, and audit-ready compliance — role-scoped, one Part at a time.
Deep diveMaintenance-station routing
Flags when a tail's due check won't reach a capable station before its limit. Advisory — it surfaces the risk, it doesn't block dispatch.
Deep diveCrew-base efficiency
Surfaces deadhead and out-of-base overnights so pairings can be built to originate and terminate at a crew member's base.
Deep diveExplainable swap / re-base suggestions
Deterministic aircraft-swap and re-base proposals that improve the score — every suggestion shows its reasoning. Not AI, not a guaranteed optimum.
