Spanish term

cortes de las líneas

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Aerospace / Aviation / Space
Hello,

I'm working on an operations manual for a Spanish airline. In a section outlining the responsibilities of the person responsible for scheduling, one of the duties is:

"Realización de los cortes de las líneas con Carmen."

Carmen is a system used to plan routes, but I cannot get my head around "cortes de las líneas" or even "líneas" alone in this context.

Suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Context is everything in this case Just brainstorming here, "corte" and "línea" could have so many meanings that, using them together in a sentence only multiplies the conceivable possibilities. For corte alone, a few that come to mind for me are: cutback, cutoff, style, type, cut; it might even mean totalling up. Then you have lines, and as Luz says, there may be several possibilities, it could even refer to airlines, as there may be more than one within the same company.

It's possible that "ruta" is route and "línea" is "leg".
Luz Esther Nov 25, 2015:
Sounds like it's talking about cutting route lines (like the service to on those routes) to see if they comply with certain legal requirements. Usually in spanish when you talk about a "linea" it refers to the route itself, like in the metro you have the different colors lines, however the cutting part I am not 100% sure...
Lloyd Bingham (asker) Nov 25, 2015:
Líneas is often mentioned elsewhere with rutas, e.g.
- Revisión de líneas e identificación de rutas optimizables
- La optimización con CARMEN consiste en el corte de las líneas, para obtener las rutas que cumpliendo con la legalidad

Agree This looks like it could be one of these cases where we need to ask the person using the expression what they actually mean. For example, it could mean cuts to services...

I think we need more context to be able to assist. Lines can be a a line of people or pipe lines or fuel lines or management lines...

Carmen Tail Assignment
With Carmen Tail Assignment you can build aircraft routes covering a specific set of flights and/or legs. Each route meets any number of maintenance constraints, and can either be anonymous or optimally assigned to particular aircraft (identified by tail numbers). Crew Pairing information can be used to produce crew friendly aircraft rotations leading to lower crew costs and more stable on the day-of-operation. Carmen Tail Assignment can also use revenue information for optimal changes in the fleet assignment. Carmen Tail Assignment is fully integrated with Carmen Rave, which offers extensive simulation capabilities.

Thanks!
neutral philgoddard : I'm not sure about this. It's not clear whether they are using "ruta" and "línea" as synonyms, or whether they mean different things. And why "corte"?

"corte y confección" = tailoring?

We will use the name Aircraft Assignment to denote the general problem of assigning aircraft to flights. Tail Assignment is the name we have chosen for our specific approach to aircraft assignment. The name tail assignment comes from the fact that individual aircraft are identified by their tail numbers, and that the tail assignment problem considers individual aircraft.
