Optimizing Pilot Planning and Training for Continental Airlines

The Crew ResourceSolver decision-support system employs advanced optimization modeling and solution techniques to solve complex, large-scale pilot staffing and training problems at Continental Airlines. The system determines optimal pilot transitions and efficiently allocates and schedules training resources. The results are improved staffing levels and substantial cost savings through reduced staffing, hiring, and training costs. Continental has estimated savings of over $10 million per year using the system.
