Using the Line Simulator for Queries


Using the Line Simulator for Queries 

In this topic, you will review how to use the line simulator for crew member inquiries.

We estimate that this will take 4 minutes to complete.


The Line Simulator allows you to simulate various scenarios with crew member's schedules. This tool can be used to validate the questions that crew members may have about their awarded pairings.
 

  • Such scenarios include inquires about holidays, pre-awarded absences (training, vacation, leave, etc.), or pairings that were not awarded to crew members.


Detailed Explanation

Beginning on the Line Simulator tab, select the category to which the crew member in question belongs.
