The caveat? While facing increasing pressure to produce results, it appears they have only launched the Beta version. To my knowledge, nobody has been able to access the app to this point. Additionally, numerous appear to now be locked out of the website. We’ve already waited 12 months for results from this trustee, when he finally decided to make an effort on delivering improvements, he panicked and provided a half-baked app that reeks of amateur production.

Some features which would have been tremendously helpful:

-Airport Info Tab— Door Codes, Food, KCM Directions, other useful items.

-Jumpseat Guide— who to list on, how to list, when to list, grooming standards, etc.

-Emergency Hotline— A hyperlink that immediately takes you to a call with the emergency hotline.

-Seniority List— A list of active and inactive seniority list members, preferably with an email or phone number (opt in by each pilot).


Oh wait, it’s almost as if this app is already in existence. Just drop the IBT and replace it with ALPA. GASP—the horror.
