Abstract

Next to fuel costs, crew costs are the largest direct operating cost of airlines. In 1991 American Airlines reported spending $1.3 billion on crew [AGPT91]. Other major airlines have similar costs. Therefore much work has been devoted to the planning and scheduling of crews over the last thirty years.
