CrewBlast OS Opens Direct Access to Staffing Network

Flight departments now have direct access to create and distribute full-time and contract crew requests through CrewBlast OS. The aviation staffing technology provider is offering an alternative to long waits for staffing firms to source and screen candidates. 

The platform allows dispatchers, chief pilots, directors of aviation, and other authorized personnel to log in from the web or CrewBlast’s mobile app. There, they may issue a crew request that is pushed directly to matching pilots and flight attendants in the network, who can then respond with their availability in real time.

CrewBlast OS incorporates CertiFly, a credential-screening tool the company introduced in July. The AI-driven tool checks candidates’ training documentation against the ratings and qualifications they claim to hold, flagging discrepancies such as lapsed certificates or missing records. 

No long-term contract is required to access CrewBlast OS. “We don’t believe operators should need a long-term agreement to keep using CrewBlast OS,” said founder and CEO Timothy Griffin. “We believe the technology will prove its value every time a flight department needs crew.”

The same system can be used for a single last-minute contract trip or a full-time hiring search, according to the company.
