Bench Pilot Management — Never Be Short-Staffed Again
Your trusted freelance pilots, organized in one place. Always know who is available, qualified, and ready to fly.
The problem
Your bench is scattered — and that costs you trips
Most operators are managing their best pilots across 3 different apps and a mental list. That's not a system.
Phone contacts, a WhatsApp group, a spreadsheet from 2022 — your bench pilots are everywhere except somewhere you can actually use them quickly.
Type ratings and medicals expire. You only find out when you go to assign someone — which is always the worst possible moment.
Without a system, you default to who you remember first. Reliable pilots at the bottom of your list never hear from you. That's a waste of your bench.
The solution
A proper system for your most valuable asset
CrewBench gives you a structured, searchable roster — with notifications, qualifications, and analytics built in.
How Shino Aviation staffs a 20-aircraft, five-type fleet
Shino runs Part 135 charter and Part 91 private trips from one bench roster. One staffing call once took its CEO two hours of phone calls. Now he usually has a pilot confirmed within 10 to 15 minutes.
Read the Shino Aviation case study“The filtering is what I kept coming back to. I don’t need to remember who’s current on what anymore. I just filter by type, and the list is right there.”
