Broker - Temporary Crew Names on Trip Sheets

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.
