The only tile that's worth anything is the one listing crew members, but the layout of the crew list seems totally arbitrary and the colors don't mean anything.
Even as one size fits all solution for multiple airlines it isn't good. I found clicking flight acceptance came closest to conveying useful information conveniently.
They would have been better served just improving the hyperlinks in the current/previous system until they could make a self contained application for it.
Blue block should; Show call sign and ship number. MINTO/BLOCK fuel under departure dot. STA over ETA under destination dot. Reporting points ideally so you can click and input times. Destination alternate should stay right of destination, take off alternate before departure point, and clicking on them should bring up NOTAMS and wx. Wx tile should actually display updated wx on the tile. MEL should get it's own tile. Remaining space should be customizable tiles. Basically everything you want should be immediately visible one one screen...in the unlikely event anyone cares to actually make it good.
There is potential but significant improvements need to be made. Right now it’s inferior to the HTML flt plan by a lot.

Fired? Were they turning on the beacon as soon as they arrived at the jet?
