Schedule management for cabin crew CrewMate is built to help you manage an irregular flying roster quickly and accurately. ■ One photo is all it takes Upload the roster your airline sent you — a photo, a PDF or an Excel file — and AI reads a whole month of flights for you. Major airline formats across Japan, Korea, the Middle East and Southeast Asia are supported. ■ Add a duty just by speaking Say "Hong Kong layover next Tuesday" and it becomes a schedule entry. Your speech is turned into text on your device, and audio files are never stored. ■ Compare days off with friends Add colleagues as friends and compare rosters one-to-one or as a group. CrewMate finds the days everyone is off. Groups include a board, so planning together is easy. ■ Every flight detail in one place Departure and arrival times, airport info, aircraft type and layover details together in one view. Monthly flight statistics and cumulative hours are calculated for you. ■ Keep the flight as a card Put the day's flight details over your own photo and save it as one image. Three shapes — boarding pass, minimal and stamp — with five designs each, all free. ■ Make the calendar yours Change the theme colour and font, add stickers to any date, and decorate with colours and patterns. ■ Stop working out show-up times Set a show-up time per duty type once, and it is applied to your schedule automatically. ■ Works in the air Rosters you've already loaded and friend comparisons stay available with no internet connection. ■ Shared only with friends Your schedule is visible only to people you've added as friends, and sharing can be switched off at any time. ■ Supported airlines Japan Airlines (JAL), All Nippon Airways (ANA), Korean Air, Asiana Airlines, Jeju Air, Air Busan, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad Airways, Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific and more.
