Airline Crew Scheduling Under Uncertainty

This paper introduces a new way of evaluating the quality of a crew schedule, namely, its performance in operations with disruption. Provided is a method for finding crew schedules that approximate expected cost. The computational results indicate that the schedules found using aooroximate expected cost perform better than those using planned cost. The paper demonstrates also that some of the crew schedules found using the proposed method performed very well relative to the lower bound.
