| Abstract | This research on the airline crew scheduling problem focuses on more efficient solution approaches as well as integrating the crew problem with other airline scheduling problems. It is known that for some schedules there are very good pairing solutions with low pay and credit, while for other schedules the pairing solutions are poor and may be impossible to improve by more computational effort. We explore the reasons intrinsic to schedules that prevent getting good pairing solutions. In this paper, two schedule analysis methods are proposed to evaluate the crew friendliness of a given schedule, and guidelines are given for making small modifications of the schedule when analysis indicates problems. Based on the result and methodology of schedule analysis, application areas such as a new duty partition formulation for crew pairing problem, integrated planning, and integrated recovery are discussed. 1 |
