Part 135 · Network-aware scheduling

In development · Q1 2027

Crew-base efficiency

Trips are scored against where your crew are actually based, surfacing deadhead legs and out-of-base overnights, so the desk can prefer assignments that begin and end at a crew member's domicile. On the ad-hoc charter side the inputs are trips and positioning rather than fixed lines, but the read is the same. It replaces eyeballing which trips strand a crew away from base.

Launching the first quarter of 2027.

Who it's for

The crew desk that wants to prefer assignments returning crew to their domicile and to see which trips would strand a crew away from base. (In development.)

What it replaces

Eyeballing which trips strand a crew away from base.

What crew-base efficiency gives you

  • In development — will score trips against where crew are based
  • Surfaces deadhead legs and out-of-base overnights
  • Helps position trips to return crew to their domicile

In development: scoring trips against crew bases

This capability is in development. As planned, trips would be scored against where your crew are actually based, surfacing deadhead legs and out-of-base overnights so the desk can prefer assignments that begin and end at a crew member's domicile. It is designed to replace eyeballing which trips strand a crew away from base.

  • In development — will score trips against where crew are based
  • Surfaces deadhead legs and out-of-base overnights

Designed for ad-hoc charter too

On the ad-hoc charter side the inputs are designed to be trips and positioning rather than fixed lines, but the read is the same. As planned, it would help position trips to return crew to their domicile whether the operation runs fixed lines or ad-hoc charter.

  • Helps position trips to return crew to their domicile
  • Inputs are trips and positioning, not fixed lines, on the charter side

How an operator uses this

This capability is in development. As planned, trips would be scored against where your crew are actually based, surfacing deadhead legs and out-of-base overnights so the desk can prefer assignments that begin and end at a crew member's domicile. On the ad-hoc charter side the inputs are trips and positioning rather than fixed lines, but the read is the same — it is designed to replace eyeballing which trips strand a crew away from base.

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

How it works

Crew-base efficiency, step by step

  1. In development: trips will be scored against where your crew are based.

  2. Deadhead legs and out-of-base overnights will be surfaced on the board.

  3. The desk would prefer assignments that begin and end at a crew member's domicile.

  4. On the ad-hoc charter side the inputs are trips and positioning rather than fixed lines.

Questions

Crew-base efficiency — frequently asked

Can it position trips around where crew are based today?

Not yet — crew-base efficiency is in development. As planned, it will score trips against where crew are based and surface deadhead legs and out-of-base overnights.

Does it work for ad-hoc charter, not just fixed lines?

As designed, yes — on the ad-hoc charter side the inputs are trips and positioning rather than fixed lines, but the read is the same. This capability is in development.
