SCREW

This wiki establishes the procedures regarding the SCREW (Scheduling Crew Routes Entertaining Whims) program for Hartlantair.

BACKGROUND:
Hartlantair previously utilized open source software for the automated assignments of flight crew routes. Assignments were issued at 0000Z of the first day of the month and routinely included 4 sequential legs. Legs could be flown in any order as desired by flight crews, but had to be assigned in a sequential order.

Per a memo released on AUGUST 6 2026:

The Hartlantair Management team would like to announce refurbishments to the SCREW department & flight assignments. The Scheduling Crew Routes Entertaining Whims program is being redesigned to better promote crew requests in assigned flying. In support of this mission, and to better add agility in its operations, the SCREW department is being compartmentalized under the new Operation of Foresight in Flight sub-department, under the authority of the Central Operational Control Center.

In an industry first, Hartlantair's management is reaffirming its commitment to the prohibition of Artificial Intelligence (Language Learning Models) and other hazards associated with the clanker revolution.

General guidelines:

Crew members should generally be assigned routes where, when practical, best conform to any of the following, in priority order:

  1. As requested in a Pilot Bid Information Declaration (BID)
  2. Where practical and easily ascertainable, routine flying for Hartlantair

Pilots are to submit Bid Information Declarations (BID) by 2359 Zulu on the Sunday that preempts that day 2 weeks prior to the last calendar day of the month.

Example: In the month of July 2030, pilots must submit their BID by 2359Z on Sunday July 14, 2030, as this is the last Sunday in advance of 2 weeks of the end of the month (7/17/30).

Curation requirements:

Playlists, and/or the songs included:

  • Must promote Hartlantair in a positive, uplifting, and/or hearty manner.
  • Should promote Hartlantair's core goals, including “sustaining good vibes, creating happy rides”.
  • Playlists should generally be around 80 - 100 minutes in duration, and songs should generally be no longer than 3m30s in duration.

Publication requirements:

When publishing FIT CHEQUEs,

  • Send an email to PIVOT@crew.hartlantair.com, and cc: gga816srcoord@crew.hartlantair.com.
  • Include “FIT CHEQUE” somewhere in the subject line, and a link to the FIT CHEQUE in the body portion of the email.
  • Post a link to the FIT CHEQUE in the Hartlantair' Discord, in the #elsewhere channel. Be sure to pin the message, if you'd like to. If there are special notes (such as I think you said a new flights to Texas theme?), feel free to note them here.

When titling FIT CHEQUEs:

When publishing FIT CHEQUEs, title them in the following manner:

  • On Spotify: FIT CHEQUE ZZYYY-X, where ZZ is the year and YYY is the month (e.g. 25AUG). -X is only included if multiple FITCHEQUEs are being released, and indicates the sequence. (e.g. 25AUG-1, 25AUG-2).
  • On Hartlantair.com, FITCHEQUE ZZ-YY-X, where ZZ is the year and YY is the month (25-08 for August 2025). -X is only included if multiple FITCHEQUEs are being released, and indicates the sequence (e.g. 25-08-1, 25-08-2).
