Dynamics of implementation of mitigating measures to reduce CO₂ emissions from commercial aviation
… implement measures to reduce CO₂ emissions from aviation. Case studies of historical changes in the aviation industry have shown that the implementation of changes generally followed S-curves with relatively long time-constants. This research analyzed the diffusion characteristics of a portfolio …

Disruptions and Robustness in Air Force Crew Scheduling
… Air Force crew scheduling and contrast them with commercial aviation. We adapt two concepts from commercial aviation for robust crew scheduling: buffer times (slack time between two successive flights operated by the same pilots) and move-up crews (back-up crews for substitution when pilots become …
