Help!!
Does anyone out there know of a program, (PC, DEC-20 TOPS-20, or VAX/VMS),
that would be capable of creating a flight schedule from the following?
. 150+ students, 1st and 2nd year combined
- Considering class timetable availability, sickness, etc.
. 125+ different missions
- Dual, solo, day, night, aircraft required, classes taken,
sequencing and prerequisites, weather suitability,
instructor required, etc.
. 15+ aircraft
- Single and twin engine, simulators
- Equipment suitability, mechanical availability, etc.
. 15+ instructors
- With student/instructor pairing preferences, instructing
timetables, sick leave, mission qualification,
teaching loads, etc.
. 2 hour time periods. 24hrs, 7 days, 10 months a year
. Weather factors, which change very quickly around here!
The person responsible for doing all this now claims that it's a good job for
a computer, I agree, but we don't have time to spend writing the program. <:(
Even automating 60% - 70% of this stuff would be great. Thanks in advance
