Delivering Dependable Aviation Management Software

Our Story

The vision to create something fellow pilots could use to make their lives easier has turned into a comprehensive Aviation Resource Management (ARM) software solution.

All great things begin with a vision and continue with commitment and dedication. Tom LaJoie, Founder, CEO, and President of eTT Aviation, employs these qualities in pursuit of what is most important to him – time with his family and helping others. His firsthand experience in civil aviation, military leadership, crew planning, and scheduling as a United Airlines pilot and a U.S. Air Force pilot helped him create some of the best tools to provide a “better quality of life” for thousands of fellow aviation professionals since 2002.

Introducing Crew Management

SkedFlex is expanded to include crew and flight management tools for ConocoPhillips, Alaska.

SkedFlex becomes United Airlines’ Shift Trading System.

Building on the trip trading capabilities, the birth of SkedFlex marks the beginning of the current Flight and Crew Management system. One of the greatest technical achievements for SkedFlex has been the creation of an extremely fast rules engine capable of managing some of the most complicated rule sets in the world and also creating intuitive visual tools to alert schedulers when crew members are approaching the limits of those rulesets.

Crew Companion is Born

Crew Companion is born in October of 2007 as the second generation of the original eTripTrader application. 18 years later Crew Companion serves over ten thousand United Airlines pilots.

eTripTrader created by former United Pilot.

Tom Lajoie founded eTripTrader, Inc. in 2002, to provide ‘a better quality of life’ for his fellow United Airlines pilots. The product was built by Tom and his oldest son Chris with an effort to convert a long and painful process of trip trading down to a matter of seconds.
