Collect Crewmember Bids For Vacancies By Base, Equipment And Position And Process Awards Using Airline Rules

Staffing Changes While Minimizing CostsIf you are like most airlines, your crew-related expenses are second only to fuel costs. By utilizing the right crew-management technology you can help control these costs while also improving the working experience for your teams.

When considering the posting of vacancies and/or surpluses, the training costs can be staggering and the loss of manpower disruptive to your operation. You need the systems to accurately forecast the training resources required to balance your manpower requirements.

Complex Vacancy Award Rules Can Be A Daunting TaskAwarding vacancies, surplus positions and base assignments is one of the most complicated tasks a crew planning and resources department can face. One mistake ripples through the entire award. The result is a loss of manpower expense due to pay protection for miss-awards and grievance litigation.
