Using a Placeholder Crew Member for Ad Hoc Crew Information

For operators who frequently fly with broker-provided or one-time crew members, maintaining dozens (or even hundreds) of temporary crew records can quickly clutter the database. Instead, consider using a placeholder crew member to simplify the process.

Setup Instructions

1. Create a crew member named Crew.
2. Set the crew member's phone number to See Note Below.
   
   
3. Create a Leg note category called Crew Information.
   
   

How to Use It

When scheduling a trip, assign the placeholder Crew record to the trip. Then, add the actual crew member names, contact information, and any other relevant details in the Crew Information note category.

Benefits

• Keeps your crew database clean and organized.
• Eliminates the need to create temporary crew records for every trip.
• Makes it easy for passengers and trip participants to see crew information on itineraries.
• Saves time for schedulers and dispatchers by reducing data entry and maintenance.

This simple workflow provides the visibility you need on itineraries without filling your database with one-time crew records.
