What the demo shows

Builds the month's legal, lowest-cost crew trips with trade-offs shown, for pairing analysts

The month's candidate solutions sit on one frontier — cost against crew quality of life, with the share of pairings that hold on replay ringed on every point — beside the pairing agents. A schedule reader diffs the month and asks network planning about doubtful flights; a rules keeper turns Part 117, the contract and new letters of agreement into rules with their source passages; a pairing builder runs dozens of solutions and re-runs on a plain-words request; an independent legality and fatigue checker re-tests every pairing; an operation replayer flies each solution against 730 days of real delays; a trade-off explainer writes one sentence per point with citations. The analyst chooses, the scheduling committee reviews, the director approves with a reason code and e-signature, and a publish agent re-verifies before anything reaches bidding.
