Crew Alert is the scheduling companion built for the people who actually fly the airplane — and the ones who keep the aviation industry moving. Aviation is unpredictable. Scheduling calls at 3am. Add pay windows you almost missed. FDP limits you're mentally calculating mid-briefing. Crew Alert puts everything in one place so you spend less time doing math and more time doing the job. RESERVE MANAGEMENT Track Long Call, Short Call, and Airport Standby windows with live countdowns. Know exactly where you stand before scheduling calls — and whether add pay applies before you even pick up the phone. ADD PAY TRACKING Configure your airline's thresholds once. When you get called out, Crew Alert automatically calculates your callout window and tells you what add pay applies. No more mental math at 0300. TRIP BUILDING Build trips manually or import directly from your scheduling system. Legs, layovers, report times, hotel info — organized the way crew actually work. FDP & FAR 117 COMPLIANCE Real-time flight duty period tracking with FAR 117 Table B and C calculations built in. Augmented crew, extensions, and rest requirements — all handled. SCHEDULE IMPORT Import your schedule directly from your airline's system. Supports ICS, plain-text, and HI1 formats. Reserve codes auto-detected on import. More carriers added regularly. LOGBOOK Log your flights and build your logbook without leaving the app. No separate tool needed. BUILT BY SOMEONE WHO FLIES Crew Alert was built by an active airline pilot who got tired of juggling spreadsheets, sticky notes, and a scheduling app that wasn't designed for any of this. Every feature solves a real problem. All data stays on your device. Subscribe to unlock full access.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Crew Alert App at free with in-app purchases against Paytrack's subscription. Crew Alert App also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Paytrack's advantage is ratings volume (720 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

  • My per diem is not what is listed. We don't have lead pay, it won't let me cut my guarantee in half.

  • Literally every refresh the amount will change for the previous months past .
  • The app is not user friendly and does not sync up lead pay correctly. It needs to reflect what flica has as far as lead hours and pay. There also needs to be a way to reset the month to the original pay report.
  • It says that you can add up to 4 pairings manually for free just by tapping of the calendar but it doesn't work. Also, I contacted support for my account to be deleted but they never deleted my account.
  • It gives you the option to have your trips added to your schedule automatically my pulling down on the screen but it never works!!
  • Asked for support on using the app never received an answer.
  • It tells you to hit the download button to download your schedule, but I don't see a download button 😡😡😡
