CrewSchedule Pro is a schedule, pay and logbook companion built for Envoy Air pilots and flight attendants flying the Embraer 170/175. YOUR MONTH, EXACTLY AS PUBLISHED Import your monthly award and every pairing's full detail — report and release times, each leg's routing and block, layover cities, deadheads, credit and time away from base. Turns, layovers and reserve days are laid out day by day, with a trip inspector for any pairing. PAY YOU CAN CHECK Credit, flight pay and per diem worked out for every trip, from the figures the airline printed and your contract rate — never estimates dressed up as facts. OPEN TIME AND LEGALITY Browse open time and drop-board pairings, see which ones fit around your existing schedule, and check FAR 117 rest and duty limits before you commit — then make the pickup or trade on the airline's own system, with nothing committed until you approve the airline's confirmation screen. LOGBOOK THAT FILLS ITSELF A pilot logbook seeded from your flown legs, with out/off/on/in actuals matched from live FAA flight data and an optional GPS flight matcher that recognises the airports you depart and arrive at while the app is open. FAMILY CALENDAR Share a private calendar subscription with the people at home, so they always know when you report and when you are back — flights, layovers and hotels, kept private to one link you control. ALSO • Reserve tools: callout queue, proffer reminders and turnback lists • Weather briefing map with your own position • Base-aware for ORD, DFW, MIA and PHX • Cloud backup of your schedule, logbook and profile, tied to your account SUBSCRIPTION CrewSchedule Pro Monthly is an auto-renewable subscription, $14.99 per month (or the equivalent in your local currency), billed to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel it any time in your App Store account settings.
