Crew scheduling at Sky Bridge Airlines balances operational requirements with safety imperatives,
particularly regarding fatigue management. The airline operates under strict FAA regulations
governing flight time limitations, rest requirements, and fatigue risk management.

**FAA Flight Time Limitations:** Pilots are limited to 100 hours in any 28-day period and 1000 hours
in any 12-month period. Daily flight time is limited to 8-9 hours depending on start time and number
of segments. These limits protect against fatigue accumulation and ensure crew alertness.

**Rest Period Requirements:** Minimum rest periods vary by duty type and time of day. Flight crews
require 10 hours of rest before duty periods over 14 hours, with 12 hours required for international
operations. Rest facilities must meet minimum standards for noise, lighting, and comfort.

**Fatigue Risk Management System (FRMS):** Sky Bridge Airlines implements a comprehensive FRMS
that goes beyond regulatory minimums. The system includes fatigue prediction models, crew reporting
mechanisms, and proactive fatigue mitigation strategies. Crew members are trained to recognize
fatigue symptoms and report concerns without fear of reprisal.

**Scheduling Principles:** Crew schedules prioritize circadian rhythms and sleep opportunities.
Early morning departures are avoided when possible, and red-eye flights are carefully managed.
Split-duty periods are minimized, and crew members receive predictable schedules whenever feasible.

**Reserve and Standby Management:** Reserve crews provide operational flexibility but must maintain
adequate rest. Reserve activation procedures ensure crews receive proper notification and rest
periods. Standby duties are limited to 12 hours with appropriate rest facilities available.

**Crew Pairing Optimization:** Flight pairings consider total duty time, number of flight segments,
time zones crossed, and layover quality. Optimal pairings balance crew preferences with operational
efficiency while maintaining legal compliance and fatigue mitigation.

**International Operations:** Transoceanic flights require additional fatigue considerations including
jet lag management and extended rest periods. Crews receive pre-flight rest in appropriate time
zones and post-flight recovery time before subsequent assignments.

**Monitoring and Intervention:** Crew fatigue is monitored through scheduling software, crew reports,
and performance indicators. When fatigue risks are identified, interventions include schedule
adjustments, additional crew assignments, or flight cancellations.

**Training and Awareness:** All crew members receive annual fatigue management training covering
sleep science, circadian rhythms, and personal fatigue mitigation strategies. The training emphasizes
the shared responsibility for fatigue management between crew members and operations personnel.

**Performance-Based Fatigue Management:** Beyond regulatory compliance, Sky Bridge Airlines uses
performance metrics to assess fatigue impact. Crew monitoring includes reaction time measurements
and operational performance reviews to validate fatigue management effectiveness.

**Accommodation and Facilities:** Crew rest facilities at airports meet or exceed regulatory standards.
Hotels used for layovers are selected for quiet locations, comfortable beds, and minimal light
intrusion. In-flight rest opportunities are maximized through efficient operations and minimal
ground delays.
