Flying First-Class on Analytics: Predicting Airline Employee "Standby" Probabilities​

Abstract: Former Delta data scientist Nick Sovich introduces SCORPION, a machine learning model that predicts standby boarding probabilities for nearly 500,000 Delta flights up to four months in advance. ​

Built from his experience on 500+ standby flights, SCORPION continuously retrains on historical outcomes and is now used by thousands of Delta employees.​
