Eliminating Unfilled Shifts in Aerospace Recruitment
Ensuring your aircraft remain crewed, every flight, every time.
Did you know that the aviation industry has one of the highest staff turnover rates? This, coupled with strict scheduling rules and varying crew availability, leads to unfilled shifts. AI can solve this by automating scheduling and tracking availability in real-time.
The Perfect Storm: Unfilled Shifts in Aerospace Recruitment
Unfilled shifts are a significant challenge in aviation recruitment due to the complex nature of shift patterns, varying crew qualifications (EASA Part-FCL), and adherence to duty-time limitations (EU ORL). According to REC research, the industry struggles with 15% unfilled shifts on average. This leads to costly delays, rescheduling, and even cancelled flights.
AI-Driven Automation: The Solution to Unfilled Shifts
Our AI solution automatically matches available crew members with open shifts based on their qualifications, duty-time restrictions, and preferred shift patterns. It learns from past schedules, adjusting automatically for recurring absences or unavailability. Seamlessly integrated into your existing workflow, it sends notifications to crew members once scheduling is complete.
Fill Rates Soar with AI Assistance
By automating scheduling and tracking availability, our solution helps aerospace recruiters achieve 95% fill rates. This translates to significant time savings (up to 7 hours per scheduler monthly), reduced errors (80% decrease in scheduling-related issues), and improved crew morale due to better shift management.
