with that said it is my understanding mission plus has a lot more than just the flight plan, so I’m not sure the whole no email thing causing mission plus holds much water.
They could've saved themselves a lot of money and just made a Mission+ an app that receives and displays the html flight plan (and insulates it so features don't break every time a iPad update comes around). No need to require checking Co. email, just add it to the list of apps we use on the FD.

I was trying to keep and open mind on this one and not judge DAL IT by their track record. As soon as I saw the 'airdrop flight plan signatures' method I knew we were in trouble though.

That right there.

Whoever was in charge of this failed.

The HTML flight plan is fine but I don't know why guys are so opposed to making something better.

No, the app in the current iteration is not as good but there is a TON of potential in this that just isn't possible with keeping the old paper printout on the tablet.

I get that right now we get HTML via email from MiCrew, but the don’t check your email issue still doesn’t seem causal for the M+ app being a flaming pile of poo. It is possible to built an app that works right out the gate. Having to trick f@ck the screen as a work around to no day/night functionality is ridiculous….not checking emails didn’t cause that.

Got a big reroute the other night. A few minutes later, a notification bell in m+ had an “inflight release 2” with all kinds of updated info. Way less cumbersome than acars22 and associated paperwork. Point goes to m+

That's a huge plus. HTML would have become irrelevant

Have you guys noticed how it auto fills the nav log if location is enabled and you're flying directly over the point (not abeam)? Do you know if it sends this report to the company? I think it might because it only auto fills if my ipad is connected to the wifi.

no clue, but the airplanes do so I’m not sure if it matters much

Has anyone else been logged out yet, lost access to data and not been able to get it back because the plane’s wifi was out?

It does not. It only sends data back to the company when you close out the flight plan and send FPR.
