I might not get it, but nothing ventured, nothing gained.
I don't think anyone anywhere thinks "gee, even though I have crappy trips on my schedule, I should just mournfully fly them as scheduled, and make no attempts to improve my trips, all so we can 'need more reserves'" (?)

Took the plunge and downloaded the app. At first blush I like it. Well see how well it works when new trips drop into open time.
I agree this sort of thing is something Delta should provide, but until then I'm glad there is a third party option.

Just went to download Icrew Max and says they aren't accepting new or renewal subscriptions. The app is under a security evaluation from Delta. Hope it doesn't go away forever. Also says currect subscribers can continue with the app.

wouldn't it be nice if Delta IT was as diligent about fixing their own product as they are about policing others' (vastly superior) products?

Funny and sadly true about the IT.

I downloaded the app. It has a major limitation for me. Unless I am missing something you can't set a date range to check for trips. I don't want to get messages for trips all month long. As a example I have a window where I want to pick something up in Jan. Its a 6 day block. I would want the app only to alert me on flights in that date range but I can't find a way to do it. Am I missing something?

Not sure if that feature has changed or not, but I found it useful because I would just put a red star next to trips I didn't want. The stars would not change between PCS runs, so it was an easy way to distinguish a new trip that pops up in open time.

Needs work. My flightline account is far superior. I.E., I can see the entire rotation so I can decide if I really want the trip. Also, I can get alerts for all er bases, so I can monitor those bases for potential out-of-base trips. Hopefully these features will be added in future versions
