Part 121 · Network-aware scheduling

In development · Q1 2027

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.

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

How an operator uses this

As pairings and aircraft routing are built, the board checks each tail's next-due maintenance check against the stations that are both reachable and rated for it, and flags any tail whose check won't fit a capable station before its limit — advisory, so it surfaces the risk on the routing view without blocking a dispatch. Pairings are scored against your crew bases, surfacing deadhead legs and out-of-base overnights so the desk can favor pairings that originate and terminate at a crew member's domicile, and the soft factors roll into one configurable weighted score (abstract points, lower is better) you tune per center. When a swap or re-base would lower that score without creating a routing risk, the board proposes it with its reasoning — deterministic, explainable heuristics that compose with the FAR 117 / 121.467 legality the scheduler already enforces, not AI, not a solver, and not a claim of the single optimal schedule.

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