Abstract: A system and method according to which goods and services are provided during vehicular travel. In an exemplary embodiment, the vehicle is an airplane operated by a commercial airline.

Abstract: A crew planning system includes a demand forecasting module and an optimization module. The system forecasts anticipated reserve demand levels, and determines suitable reserve staffing approaches to meet anticipated reserve demand. The forecasting is based upon probabilistic distribution models which take into account variability associated with reserve demand for a particular day. Via use of the crew planning system, reserve staffing expenses may be reduced and/or reserve demand may be met with a higher degree of probability.

Abstract: A system and method according to which history events, such as airline flight or crew history events, are logged and searched. In one embodiment, sequenced information is obtained from one or more applications. In one embodiment, a user can input a single query and obtain sequenced information from new and legacy applications using the single query. In some embodiments, audit trail-like tracking of changes made to airline information is provided. In one embodiment, the system includes: a message handling system adapted to transform an event message; a message processor adapted to receive the event message and parse the event message; a database to which history data of the event message is persisted; and a query processor adapted to read airline flight or crew history event data in response to a query request, the airline flight or crew history event data comprising the history data.

Abstract: A system and method according to which a recommended quantity of spare engine components is generated. In several exemplary embodiments, the components support aircraft maintenance and flight operations and are designed to be repaired periodically. In an exemplary embodiment, the recommended quantity is a number of available spare engine components that supports the aircraft maintenance operations but avoids excess spare engine components in inventory.

Abstract: A computer based system for determining even-spaced quantiles using class authorization level values and network values. Determining a curve and a set of revised values, and remapping based on the revised values.

Abstract: The system applies logistic regression to historical data to generate forecast coefficients. The system creates an updated authorization parameter in real-time iteratively throughout a period of time.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for forecasting costs and determining probabilities, along with the use of prediction modeling. The system analyzes previous actions to determine future actions, while using cost prediction modeling.

Abstract: The system determines even-spaced quantiles for network optimization. The system may utilize authorization level to expected network conversion. The system may be used in connection with yield management systems, inventory control systems, or revenue management systems.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for determining a real-time probability iteratively throughout a period of time. The system conducts an upgrade analysis by determining that an expected marginal seat revenue for a sale of an additional coach seat is greater than an expected marginal seat revenue for a sale of an additional first class seat.

Abstract: A system for linear regression modeling for load factors is disclosed. The system determines capacity, optimal authorizations, probabilities and models using a real-time iterative process throughout a period of time.

Abstract: A computer based system for unobscuring and/or unconstraining demand is disclosed. Via use of the system, actual airline seat bookings may be restated in an unobscured and/or unconstrained form, facilitating improved demand forecasts for subsequent seat bookings. In this manner, seat protects may be better allocated to align with actual demand, thus increasing revenue.

Abstract: An overlay bag tag is configured to cover an old bag tag that is attached to a bag of a passenger, with the overlay bag tag including an original bag tag number of the old bag tag and an updated bag route. The overlay bag tag is used to reroute the bag according to the updated bag route when there is a change in a passenger route of the passenger after the bag is checked in with the airlines so that the bag travels with the passenger. If the bag cannot travel with the passenger, the system reroutes the bags to the final destination of the passenger.

Abstract: A system for holding one or more bags. The system includes a cart, a first chute disposed on the cart, and a second chute also disposed on the cart. The first chute includes a first edging along each side of the first chute. The second chute includes a second edging along each side of the second chute. The second chute is intertwined with the first chute. The system may further include a third chute and a fourth chute disposed on the cart. The third chute may include a third edging along each side of the third chute, and the fourth chute may include a fourth edging along each side of the fourth chute. The top and bottom of the first chute and the top and bottom of the second chute are positioned on opposite ends of the cart at about 180 degrees apart, while the top and bottom of the third chute and the top and bottom of the fourth chute are positioned on opposite ends of the cart at about 180 degrees apart.
