For pilots

Duty, rest and reserve — three states your family reads as one

A pilot’s month is duty periods, mandated rest and reserve, in a format built for compliance rather than for the person planning a family dinner. Rest is not free time and reserve is not a day off, but both look like one from outside.

The schedules this actually has to cope with

Freeish is built around these, not around a nine-to-five with the occasional exception.

Multi-day trips

Several duty periods and overnights making up one trip, spanning calendar days that do not divide neatly.

Mandated rest

Legally protected and genuinely unavailable, and the thing most likely to be mistaken for time off.

Short call and long call reserve

At home and unavailable, with a callout window that decides how far you can go.

Recurrent training and sim

Scheduled separately from flying and just as immovable.

What it sounds like at home

“Rest gets treated as free time by everyone who is not a pilot.”
“Reserve means I cannot commit to anything and cannot explain why.”
“My schedule is in a format only crew scheduling can read.”
“Time zones make every "what time are you free" a maths problem.”
“Sim dates land in the middle of what looked like a clear week.”

Where Freeish fits

Rest and reserve go in as their own blocks, so unavailable is visible rather than inferred.

Everyone reads your schedule in their own time zone automatically.

Days genuinely at home stand out, which is what your family are looking for.

Training and sim sit alongside flying so a clear-looking week is not.

One week, start to finish

Owen, first officer

Owen imports the month’s line at the start of the bid period.
Trips, rest and reserve go in as distinct blocks.
His wife stops reading rest days as days off.
A sim date lands mid-month and goes straight in.
His parents, two time zones away, see everything in their own time.

Questions pilots ask

Can I show rest as unavailable?

Yes. Put it in as an event — that is what makes the difference between being home and being available visible to everybody else.

Does anyone see my routes?

Only what you type and mark public. Times are what the people following you need.

Does it handle time zones?

Yes — everyone sees your schedule converted to their own, which removes the most common source of confusion.
