		Define scope

		Read the timetable. Decide which fleet to plan, which other carrier deadheads to allow and which crew positions to cover.

		Select

		Use the graphic user interface to select the flights to be planned. It is possible to use standard daily or weekly solutions, as well as creating dated solutions from scratch. When applying a pairing solution to a new timetable, information about cancelled flights, amended flight times and new flights will be updated automatically.

		Solve

		It is possible to build pairings interactively or use the pairing optimizer. During both manual and automatic pairing construction, legality controls are always carried out. Using the optimizer it is possible to create pairings with a minimal total crew cost, robust connections- with minimum of critical crew changes - and satisfactory crew quality. The pairing optimizer handles sophisticated aspects of crew pairing construction, such as synchronizing cockpit and cabin pairings, other airline deadheads, ground transports, variable crew needs and multiple crew bases, coupled with corresponding daily base constraints.

		Evaluate

		While the optimizer is running the user can always monitor the continuously improved solutions via the graphic user interface. It is easy to analyze and edit pairings created by the optimizer. A wide range of analysis reports are available to make the analysis of the pairing solutions more effective.

		Communicate

		When the solution is ready, the pairings are sent to the roster system, and reports are generated for preliminary hotel reservations, crew ticket reservations and meal load orders.
