Scheduling crew ? Any value ?

[PETER_US]

I am part of a company delivering software solutions for automated crew scheduling (optimization). In my opinion it can be of considerable value, already starting at companies from size of 10 planes. Clearly the bigger size, the more it brings in !

What can you give me as feedback ? Any good software found ? At what companies is it working fine ? Where is it bought (from which companies) ? Do you know about the bad crew scheduling examples ? Is the cause the scheduling people or the scheduling software or both ?

Anybody to judge or answer ?

Not sure I have quite grasped where you are coming from in terms of what info you are seeking to extract.

There are various software packages available. If any problems are experienced, or the software fails to perform then you go back to the supplier for them to correct the matter.

What is it you are offering?

[PETER_US]

Our offer is software for Crew Planning and Rostering. It covers Long Term, Short Term and Operations Control. Market share is still weak.

I'd like more information of other companies delivering and experiences from business. I am sure you all know much more as I do.

I know about Sabre, Mercury, ORTEC and AIMS.

For what I can learn. Great !

I believe Monarch use a system called Acrobat? Only seen basic demonstration of it at the moment.

Should be getting to know it a lot better, so rumour has it.

Anyone know of it. Comments?

EasyJet have just disposed of acrobat for AIMS, give them a call for any info.
I don't think it's too bad, EZY have out grown it and it's certainly cheaper than the market leaders i.e AIMS etc etc

Most the of crew management packages available include crew resource planning.
