Crewing Dept
I am looking for info on:
- How many people control the crewing function in different airlines and for how many aircraft/staff
- Whether the crewing dept works during normal office hours or on a 24 hour basis
- Whether the crewing dept is part of the Flight Operations Dept

Can we ask why you want to know ?
Airlines and operators run their crewing functions differently from each other depending on the size of operation. I've worked with 17 aircraft and crewing was done by the one person on shift and he/she also carried out the Ops function.
It varies......

Crewing Dept
I am interested in learning how different crewing depts work because in our airline we have 3 people doing rostering / crewing for much less than 17 aircraft! They work office hours and ops control do the crewing out of office hours. Was wondering how dept could function better.

We have 50 aircraft with approx 300 flights per weekday. There are 6 ops controllers on a pattern of earlies/lates/days/middles and float shifts.
earlies - 0500-1300
lates - 1600-0100
days - 0800-1600
middle - 1200-2000
float - home standby - contactable 0700am for 1hr then 1300 for 1hr to cover last minute sickness only and keeps the hours up for the rostered week.
We have 9 crew controllers that pretty much work the same hours. Some days when people aren't on leave we're falling over each other if its quiet but the bare minimum coverage is an early/day/late. Keeps the overtime rate down!
