A real-time crew management system that tracks each crewmember accurately through time, Altitude Magellan manages the current day (monitor check-ins, control absences, etc.), allows schedulers to plan for the next few days (reserves, cancellations, etc.) and maintains an accurate and up-to-the minute picture of the pay, credit and recency implications of crewmember activities.

The only decision-support system that utilizes the "management by exception" concept, Altitude Magellan automatically detects the consequences of changes and only alerts planners to changes that impact the schedule and require action (conflicts, notification). By allowing planners to focus exclusively on critical situations, Altitude Magellan streamlines operations. Crewmember communication is significantly simplified, allowing planners to spend more time on operational problems and increase their efficiency to respond to last minute schedule changes - efficiencies that can translate into substantial financial savings.

Global Impact

Crewmember Quality of Life
Using the two-way web-enabled communications system, Orion, crewmembers are empowered with the flexibility to better manage their work schedules. Availability preferences, requests for open-time, trade requests and the ability to retrieve company information are some of the options available to crewmembers.

Planners become planners again
Altitude Magellan provides planners with the necessary information (crew location, availability, transportation requirements, etc.) to make good scheduling decisions. By significantly reducing the more tedious and time-consuming activities (attempts to contact crewmembers, managing notifications, etc.), planners can concentrate on actual scheduling problems, significantly improving productivity.

A More Efficient Airline
In addition to more efficient planners, Altitude Magellan provides airlines with a central access point for crew information. Historical data reports clearly and accurately show hours worked per crewmember that can be obtained from the system, significantly improving payroll operations. This could translate into important cost savings in both man hours and human error.
