AIPA's "Stick With It" Podcast ft. Anthony Mangan

Welcome back to Stick with It! In this episode, we are joined by AIPA’s rostering and scheduling expert, Anthony Mangan.

Anthony’s aviation career began with Qantas in 1996, where he gained experience across a range of operational roles before moving into the Integrated Operations Centre. There, he worked at the heart of airline logistics, managing the complex and ever-changing movement of pilots across the network. This hands-on experience gave him a deep understanding of the pressures and priorities that shape rostering and scheduling in a 24/7 global airline environment.

In 2024, Anthony brought this knowledge to AIPA, where he now leads AIPA's rostering and scheduling service. His team provides support around the clock, seven days a week, helping members navigate the intricate and often confusing systems that govern rosters. It is no surprise that this service has quickly become one of the most valued benefits among AIPA members.

In our conversation, Anthony shares his perspective on current trends in rostering and scheduling, explains common challenges faced by pilots and offers practical advice. 

As always, fly safe and Stick With It.
