Abstract
Crew cost is the second highest in the total operating cost of
an airline, after fuel.
That is because, the effective management of the crew is very
important. Crew management means the allocation mechanism of the existing
cockpit and cabin crew to the flights. In this paper I introduce the steps of
the crew

most popular planning software.
