One presentation of particular interest for this newsletter, was LATAM’s presentation on their FRMS journey and implementation of the Boeing Alertness Model. Jennifer Campilongo, Senior Manager Crew Scheduling Department, shared the story of how LATAM got the departments of Crew Scheduling and Human Factors to work together at LATAM and discussed some of the results they have achieved together.
Ms. Campilongo has a track record of delivering financial savings by putting pairing and rostering optimization to work, including cutting edge technologies such as Dynamic Aircraft Rotations and Retiming. This time her mission was to reduce fatigue risk levels, without incurring additional costs. The results were quite impressive, including a four percent overall reduction in fatigue risk exposure on the narrow body fleet and reductions in excess of 50% for the most problematic rosters. And this without spending a single extra duty day!
With the conference sleep debt now paid back in full, we are already looking forward to the 2018 Jeppesen Connect Users Conference, to be held in beautiful Lisbon, hosted by TAP Air Portugal.
