Abstract: A quantitative method of assigning leave to crew members in an operational military flying squadron has the objective of maximizing crew preferences. Manning constraints limit the number of crews on leave at one time. The assignment process is based on a point system which allows each crew to bid for the periods it prefers, with the highest bidder “winning.”
