Machpoint8 is the private network for airline pilots and cabin crew — your schedule, your contract, and the people you fly with, in one app. SCHEDULE Sync your pairings and see the whole month at a glance. Trip recaps, duty periods, layovers and pay, with your full history one scroll back. CONTRACT ANSWERS Ask a plain question and get an answer from your contract, with the section it came from. No more scrolling a PDF at 2am. WHO'S IN TOWN See which crew are in your layover city, from schedules — not phone tracking. You choose when you're visible, and you're hidden the moment you switch it off. VIDEO SUMMARIES Drop in a link to a union briefing or aviation podcast and get the key points in a minute, then ask questions about what was said. CHAT Message the crew you're flying with. Group conversations, reactions, and threads that stay with the trip. DIRECTORY Find and connect with pilots and crew across airlines and bases. PLACES Crew-sourced spots worth knowing in every layover city — rated by people who actually stayed there. CRASHPAD Find and list crew housing near base. MARKETPLACE Buy and sell headsets, bags and gear within the crew community. PRIVACY Machpoint8 never tracks your location. Who's In Town works from your schedule, and you control who sees it.
