The Boeing Alertness Model (BAM), is today by far the most widely used fatigue model within aviation. In August, yet another milestone was passed when BAM was used for predicting alertness in customer pairings and roster for, wait for it... the tenth trillion time! The explanation for this sizable number is that many airlines use BAM during the optimization process, guiding the crew pairing and rostering solutions to lower risk, and BAM is consulted during run-time for every new pattern considered.
The acheivement was recently commemorated (picture) at Jeppesen with a plaque handed over by by Johan Kollind, Director of the Crew and Ops Portfolio, to David Karlsson, our Senior Fatigue Modeling Expert. Congratulations David!
