Freelance Pilot Management That Pilots Actually Use
Pilots respond via the CrewBench app (iOS & Android — highly recommended) or a one-tap SMS link. Their choice. Your crew confirmed either way.
The problem
Managing freelance pilots is harder than it should be
Contract pilots are your most flexible resource — but only if you can reach them, verify them, and confirm them fast.
Phone contacts, a WhatsApp thread, an email chain, a spreadsheet from last year — your contract pilots are everywhere except somewhere you can act on quickly when a trip opens.
You're texting 20 people individually, waiting for replies that may never come, and somehow supposed to fill a trip in under an hour. There has to be a better way.
You're relying on the pilot's word that their medical and type rating are current. That's fine until it isn't — and then it's your operation on the line.
The solution
Built for how freelance pilots actually work
CrewBench meets pilots where they are — their phone — and gives operators the visibility they need.
Real operator stories
"Our captain called in sick at 6am. I had a client in the terminal at 9. I needed someone with the right type rating, fast. Three pilots had responded Available before I finished my first coffee."Sarah K. Director of Operations · London
