The Jeppesen crew pairing, rostering, and bidding system being implemented will increase operational efficiency by shortening the crew planning process, while also providing increased crew system data accuracy. The Jeppesen crew management system will enable the airline to create crew pairings at a minimal cost and the crew rostering application allows for creation of crew rosters that consider crew preferences, relevant constraints on duty time, rest time, days off, time zones, and other factors. "Our studies have identified clear and concrete benefits that are offered by the Jeppesen crew products, such as providing better support for our crew members when they enter their bids using an entry validation process," says Rainer Hiltebrand, chief operating officer, Swiss. "Additionally, the new crew bidding and planning interfaces will be connected, creating a new system that will immediately present our crew members with scheduled assignments and available flights." The new system will also work to spread overall Swiss crew workload more evenly through a blend of "preferential bidding" and "fair share" crew rostering practices, Jeppesen officials say.
