Department roles allow endorsements to be segregated into different groups for each department in the Air Maestro system. Defining endorsements by department roles allows the scheduling module to filter personnel based on certain resource requirements in addition to tracking which pilots are endorsed to perform what role.
For example, John Jenny Smith has been given the F14 A109 and B29 endorsement for the PIC Senior Pilot department role and the B412 the CL30 endorsement for the SIC Regular Pilot department role (see below).
This ensures that John Jenny Smith only appears as a resource in the scheduler for tasks that require pilots who are endorsed on the PIC Senior Pilot role for the F14 A109 and A109 aircraft type.
