Reserve: Necessary, complex, soul-sucking. For the crews who sit waiting around, reserve is akin to walking into the ocean with many papercuts. Imagine, not knowing what you’re doing for the day until the last possible (legal) second.

You could be called anytime: day, night, 2am, just as you’re about to attempt to sleep (let’s be real, you’re going to wake up every 2 hours convinced you’ve slept through a call). Sure, you have a so called “relative position” to see your probability of getting a call, but relative to what? The whims of a vengeful and nonsensical god of flight? That’s what it feels like; you just want to know if you can change out of your pajamas and see the sun, cause it’s been days.

But I was 110 on the list?!

Enter, ReserveList, a vital and robust component of our Crew Portal. This puts the information your on-call crews need at the tips of their fingers. Used in conjunction with Reserves Available, which takes your data and ensures accurate sorting that’s close to real-time, ReserveList is designed to be used by crewmembers to view their place on the callout list. This number actually means something, since it’s based on their airline’s data, and sorted by a computer instead of an overworked scheduler.

Who you gonna call? Reserve 23568 because it’s been sorted for me by ReserveList.

Accuracy in relative position is beneficial not only in that it eases the stress of crewmembers who are sitting reserve, but it helps them be better prepared for a call from scheduling. No more confusion because FA Smith went to the grocery store 40 minutes away because they were 75th on the list. Meanwhile FA Smoth has been number 2 for 3 days, and is afraid to take a shower.

Imagine the impact an informed team of crewmembers could have not only on daily ops, but during IROPs. Accurate transparency is the tool you need to leap over common manning hurdles, and ReserveList gives those tools to your crews.
