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.
