Abstract

An automated optimization system for generating multiple alternative training and transition plans for airline pilots which include a recall of furloughed pilots, and limits to deviation of pilot start bid periods for training assignments from a specific bid period, wherein such plans are cost optimized to track payroll costs of pilots recalled from furlough, and the combined time for solving an MIP Model representation and generating such plans therefrom is less than one hour.
