Pilot Scheduling Software Built for Charter Aviation
Stop chasing pilots by phone. CrewBench notifies your entire bench in one click, captures responses instantly, and gets your crew confirmed before the trip goes cold.
The problem
Scheduling pilots by phone is costing you trips
Most operators still schedule pilots the same way they did in 2010. Three calls, a voicemail, a text to the wrong number. There is a better way.
Every new trip means hunting through your contacts, leaving voicemails, and waiting. Meanwhile the charter is going to someone else.
When a trip pops up with 4 hours' notice, you need simultaneous responses from multiple pilots. Phone trees do not scale to that.
Which pilots are available next Thursday? Who has the right type rating? Without scheduling software, you are guessing — and guessing wrong has consequences.
The solution
Scheduling software that works at the speed of charter
CrewBench automates the notification and response process so you can focus on running trips, not chasing crew.
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.
