My favorite job (aside from the one I have now maybe but I don't quite know) involved assigning aircraft and scheduling crews for a fractional jet operator.

Man, pilots are touchy about their schedules.

I had a European pilot tell me once that the collective for pilots is a "whine of pilots". The problem was we'd have deadhead legs unavoidably so all the pilot and copilot had to do was play snakes on their Nokia phones and bitch about how the company was screwing them.
