Crewboard allows you to manage your flight crew duties in one single app by providing the following features for you: β€Ί Access your roster and notifications Download and manage your roster and keep an eye on your notifications easily. All content is also saved offline, if you need it for reference later or to calculate some fancy statistics. The time is over when you had to open the same old-looking website for these tasks which was also spamming your Downloads folder. β€Ί Check out the roster of your friends Have a look at where your friends currently are and manage who has permission to access your roster. β€Ί Study and confirm changes in manuals An important duty for every cabin member is to verify changes happening in published manuals. Crewboard helps you here as well by informing you about newly released documents, keeping them offline for reference and confirming the read changes to your company. β€Ί See all flights of your company Get a simple list of all flights that might be important in your stand-by - or check which plane is the one you will board after your briefing. With detailed filters you can exclude flights you are not interested in. β€Ί All data is stored locally Crewboard stores all data you download on your local phone only. No data is uploaded to the app's servers, so Crewboard complies with the security and privacy rules of your company. β€Ί ... and more to come Supported airlines*: β€Ί SunExpress Deutschland β€Ί SunExpress β€Ί ... your airline is missing here?
